Thousands of protesters in New York City marched silently in solidarity with the Palestinian people who are being subjected to a devastating Israeli war.

The demonstrators started from Times Square and walked down the street leading to Bryant Park in the city.

The protesters carried models of infants in shrouds, in reference to the thousands of child victims who died as a result of the ongoing Israeli bombing of the Gaza Strip.

The demonstrators demanded an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
