TOPSHOT - Protesters shout slogans and hold placards during a demonstration on Whitehall opposite Downing Street in central London on April 7, 2018 in support of the Palestianians in the Gaza Strip calling for a stop to the killing organised by the Palestinian Forum in Britain. - Hundreds of protesters gathered on Whitehall opposite Downing Street in London to protest in support of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip after Israeli troops killed nine during the latest border clashes in a week of bloodshed. Thousands of protesters approached the border fence around Gaza for a second Friday in a row, burning tyres and hurling stones at Israeli forces, who responded with tear gas and live ammunition. In addition to the nine dead, at least 491 were wounded by Israeli gunfire, the health ministry in the Hamas-run Gaza enclave said.
