A PEACEFUL demonstration to demand an immediate ceasefire of the Gaza bombings will be held in Dunfermline this weekend.

A broad group of political, civic and faith activists from across Fife are expected to gather at the Mercat Cross in the High Street on Saturday at 2pm to call for a stop from the Gaza bombings and free passage of food, water, medical supplies and fuel.

Lewis Akers, from the Stop the War Coalition, said: “The unfolding horror of the attacks on Gaza, the deprivation of food, fuel, water and medicines to some 2 million people must end now.

“We invite members of the public to join the protest to demand a ceasefire and open the way to a peaceful solution and the lifting of the current blockade of aid into Gaza."
