The vigil outside Downing Street allowed people to mourn the loss of life on all sides of the conflict in Gaza

People stood in the cold and rain outside Downing Street and heard Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby say “there is no good ever in the death of an innocent Israeli, there is no good ever in the death of an innocent Palestinian”.

The poll of 1,538 people, commissioned by Hope Not Hate and Together For Humanity, also found that 50% of people said they felt the conflict has worsened community cohesion in the UK.

A total of 51% of people agreed that the war is increasing anti-Muslim hatred in the UK, 56% agreed the conflict is increasing anti-Jewish hatred. Just 11% and 9% respectively disagreed.
