The haunting images of children kidnapped by Hamas have been placed in empty prams in Sydney’s CBD, as communities across the nation remain divided over the conflict in the Middle East.

Organisers of the event in Martin Place on Sunday say they expect 5,000 people to gather “in a peaceful demonstration to show solidarity with Israel.”
