Tens of Thousands March Across Sydney Harbour Bridge in Pro‑Palestine Protest
Supreme Court allows crossing by up to 90,000 demonstrators demanding Gaza aid
Tens of thousands braved torrential rain to march across Sydney’s iconic Harbour Bridge as part of a major pro‑Palestine demonstration demanding humanitarian aid and a ceasefire in Gaza.
The Supreme Court of New South Wales granted last‑minute approval despite police warnings of crowd crush risks, with organisers estimating up to 300,000 participants and officials citing about 90,000.
Demonstrators carried Palestinian flags, chanting for peace and holding pots and pans to draw attention to hunger in Gaza, while authorities, including NSW Police, deployed over a thousand officers and eventually halted the march mid‑bridge to manage public safety.
High‑profile figures, including Julian Assange and former senior officials, joined the event as crowds called on Australia to recognise Palestinian statehood and hold Israel to account for humanitarian concerns.
