Clashes have broken out in Mexico City as protesters demonstrated against the war in Gaza.
About 200 people joined the “Urgent Action for Rafah” demonstration in front of the Israeli embassy on Tuesday. The confrontation with the police broke out when some protesters tried to break down the barriers that prevented them from reaching the diplomatic mission.
Protesters covered their faces and threw stones at riot police blocking their path to the complex in the city's Lomas de Chapultepec neighborhood.
Police fired tear gas and threw stones at the crowd.
The demonstration was called after Sunday night's Israeli attack on a displaced persons camp on the outskirts of Rafah, which killed 45 people, according to Palestinian officials, after causing an inferno.
