Extinction Rebellion protesters have joined forces with pro-Palestine activists to take over London Liverpool Street Station with a united sit-in protest as they demand a ceasefire in Gaza.

Video footage released by the climate-change group shows some of the demonstrators lying on the ground, whilst others held posters and signs calling for an end to the ongoing Israel-Hamas War.

A large group of police officers can be seen around them at the busy London train station, which serves the Elizabeth, Central, Circle, Metropolitan and Hammersmith and City lines as well as National Rail services.

Taking to social media to share the protest with their followers, the eco-group attached a clip of the sit-in, with the caption: “ExtinctionRebellion stand in solidarity with climate & human rights movements in protest against AXA for their part in climate and ecological collapse and the violence in Gaza.”
