Hundreds of protestors staged a sit-in demonstration at New York’s Statue of Liberty on Monday afternoon demanding a ceasefire in Gaza.

About 500 members and supporters of Jewish Voice for Peace-New York City (JVP-NYC) waved flags and banners and sang pro-peace songs, according to a spokesperson for the group.

Those present included the photographer, artist and activist Nan Goldin, who told the gathering: “As long as the people of Gaza are screaming, we need to yell louder, no matter who attempts to silence us.”

The protest came the same day as the Palestinian health ministry announced the number of Palestinians killed since 7 October in Gaza surpassed 10,000. More than 1,400 Israelis were killed during the Hamas attack on Israel that triggered the recent conflict and more than 200 hostages taken. On both sides the majority of casualties are civilians.
