Thousands of children's clothes laid on beach in Israel-Gaza war protest
The clothes were placed on Bournemouth beach
Last updated 6th Feb 2024
A 5km (3.1 mile) line of old children's clothes has been laid out on Bournemouth beach in protest at the war in Gaza.
Activists from the Led By Donkeys group said the 11,500 sets of clothing represented all of the children killed in the conflict since October.
The line stretched from Canford Cliffs to almost Boscombe.
A statement from the group said: "The UK, US and other governments should be doing all they can to protect children, not actively arming the Israeli military that’s responsible for the deaths of over 99.6% of the children represented here."
Israel said it was doing all it can to minimise civilian casualties in Gaza.
The clothes will be cleaned and given to charities.
