Pro-Palestinian demonstrations have been held across the country on Sunday, with organisers claiming crowd numbers to be in the tens of thousands.

The Palestine Action Group said more than 100,000 people attended the Melbourne rally, while an estimated 50,000 turned out in Brisbane.

It comes as famine has been declared in an area of Gaza and will likely spread over the next month, a global hunger monitor has determined.
