10,000 protest Gaza violence in Germany

About 10,000 people are marching through the western German city of Duisburg to protest the Israeli

offensive in Gaza.

The demonstrators call for an immediate end to the violence and a lifting of the blockade of Gaza. Organizer Engin Karahan says the marchers want to show "Our solidarity with the victims in the Gaza Strip, and signal our opposition to the oppression and violence in Gaza." (AP)
