People fill the streets along Chestnut Street during the march with the All Out for Gaza protest on a rainy Saturday.Hundreds of pro-Palestinian demonstrators marched through sheets of rain in Center City on Saturday to repeat calls for a permanent cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war and demand intervention from U.S. leaders.
Nayla Labban, an obstetrician and gynecologist who belongs to a pro-Palestinian health-care group, blared such statistics into a megaphone outside Rittenhouse Square, as onlookers watched from the windows of upscale restaurants around the park.“There are no words to describe the level of dehumanization, humiliation, and injustice,” Labban said.

Local organizers staged another demonstration last weekend in Rittenhouse Square to mark 150 days since the attack, and call for the hostages’ safe return.
