Dozens of medics and health workers joined an estimated 1,000 people in the latest march for Palestine through Cork city today for the 16th Saturday in a row.

Doctors are not targets, they chanted, as they urged the government to take concrete action against Israel in the wake of Friday’s ruling by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) that there is a plausible case that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
