Dunedin Justice for Palestine organiser Rinad Tamimi said the Dunedin cohort was going to join thousands of New Zealanders in Auckland to "stand up for justice and humanity".
"Palestinians matter and what is happening in Palestine must stop.
"Our government needs to put sanctions on Israel."

The Dunedin contingent included Palestinian-Kiwis, Israeli-Kiwis and Jewish-Kiwis.
Israeli and Jewish Kiwi Rod Pik, of Dunedin, is making the trip with his wife and son, to stand in solidarity with Palestinians.
He said they moved to New Zealand about eight years ago and found it horrible watching what was happening from afar.
The March for Humanity in Auckland was inspired by a march across the Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia.
