PRO-Palestinian activists laid down on Worcester high street this afternoon to show solidarity with the people of Gaza.
The protesters gathered near the Guildhall waving Palestinian flags and banners calling for people to 'Remember Gaza'.
Other signs carried by the activists included striking words and phrases including 'murdered', 'burnt', 'shot', 'starved' and 'beaten'.

Speeches were also made over a microphone describing the protesters' feelings regarding the Israel-Palestinian conflict.
One woman said: "Friends, Palestinians, we are sorry that you have had your homes demolished and your cultural heritage deleted.

"You have had your legs amputated, your heads decapitated, your bodies burned to death- the world has watched you, our governments have killed you."
The protesters then laid down on the floor holding their signs and messages of support for Palestine as sombre music played out along the high street.
On Monday, June 3, the leaders of the G7 countries, including Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, issued a joint statement on Gaza.
The statement endorsed a deal outlined by United States President Joe Biden which they claimed would lead to an 'immediate ceasefire in Gaza' as well as the release of all hostages.
It continued: "The comprehensive deal will see a significant and sustained increase in humanitarian assistance for distribution throughout Gaza, and an enduring end to the crisis, with Israel’s security interests and Gazan civilian safety assured.
"We reaffirm our support for a credible pathway towards peace leading to a two-state solution.
"We call on Hamas to accept this deal, that Israel is ready to move forward with, and we urge countries with influence over Hamas to help ensure that it does so."
