A march in support of refugees will be held in the center of London on Saturday, international anti-poverty organization Oxfam announced.

LONDON (Sputnik) – The organization is aiming to get 100,000 people to take part in the march.

"Together we can make a difference by protecting and standing in solidarity with people who are thrust into poverty by circumstances beyond their control. Together we can make sure world leaders guarantee them safety, protection and a dignified future," Oxfam said on its website.
