A PEACEFUL march for Palestine and Gaza is being held throughout Bradford today (October 11).
The Bradford Friends of Palestine will start the emergency march and protest from Infirmary Field at 4pm.
The procession is due to travel from Infirmary Field, Westgate/Lumb Lane, and towards City Hall.
It comes after religious leaders from different faiths united to send an important message to Bradford.
Violence and hatred must not be seen as a solution, the statement read.
The march will start at 5pm.
Muktar Ali, one of the organisers behind the event, said: "Our message is that this is a peaceful march for peace and harmony and we're against any form of hatred."
He condemned any loss of life from any side.
