## Resource

A massive pro-Palestine march dubbed the Great March for Gaza rolled through Co Down this weekend, drawing armored police, riot squads, and water cannons as security measures — all while raising funds for Palestine Aid Ireland and Children Not Numbers. The route, stretching the distance of Gaza, skirted Scarva village after locals objected, despite Parades Commission approval with strict no-entry rules. Meanwhile, Scarva Concerned Residents staged a peaceful counter-demonstration on Scarva Bridge waving Israeli and Union flags — kept civil by police orders. Unlike last year’s minor disorder, this time authorities successfully managed both sides with vehicle barriers, ensuring zero major incidents amid deep community divisions.
