A pro-Palestine protest took place on the Falls Road in Belfast on Sunday while a vigil is to be held at the Northern Ireland Office on Monday on the first anniversary of the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war.
More than 40,000 have been killed in Gaza since over 1,000 Israelis were killed and more than 200 taken hostage by Palestinian militants in Israel on October 7 last year.
A white line protest organised by a number of pro-Palestine groups in Belfast saw dozens turn out to the International Wall on Sunday in solidarity with the Palestinian cause.
A candlelight vigil will also take place at 7pm on Monday outside Erskine House, the home of the NIO, in support of Palestine.
Pro-Palestine events were held in several parts of the UK and Ireland over the weekend, with tens of thousands of protesters marching through Dublin and London on Saturday calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
Protesters marched from the Garden of Remembrance to Leinster House in Dublin, with organisers calling it the biggest march for Palestine held in Ireland.
The demonstration was organised by the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC), supported by more than 160 Irish civil society groups.
Zak Hania, a Palestinian-Irish citizen who was trapped in Gaza for seven months and was reunited with his family in May, attended the march with his 12-year-old son.
He told RTE: “To be honest, every time I come here and see the people who are doing all kind of solidarity with Palestine, it heals me. It’s part of my cure and my healing of what we have seen.”
