The Swedish capital Stockholm witnessed on Saturday a protest demonstration against the continuation of Israeli attacks on Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip, which constitutes a violation of the ceasefire agreement.
Hundreds gathered in Odenplan Square at the call of civil society organizations to condemn the air raids launched by the Israeli army on Gaza.
The participants expressed their condemnation of Israel's violation of the ceasefire agreement that came into effect in Gaza on October 10 last year.
The protesters raised banners with phrases such as "Children are being killed in Gaza" and "Schools and hospitals are being bombed" and "Stop the genocide in Gaza".
They also demanded an end to Israeli attacks on Gaza and a halt to Swedish arms sales to Israel.
The Swedish activist Joachim Orthén pointed out that these demonstrations are held every Saturday in Stockholm to highlight the situation in Gaza and the West Bank.
Orthén confirmed the continuation of the tragedy in the region, adding that the war has not ended despite the existence of a peace agreement.
On October 10 last year, the ceasefire agreement came into effect in Gaza after two years of war that left more than 70,000 Palestinian martyrs and 171,000 injured.
In addition to human losses, the war caused massive destruction affecting 90% of the civilian infrastructure, with initial losses estimated at around 70 billion dollars.
We are here because the war has not ended yet, and despite the existence of a peace agreement that must be implemented, civilians are still being killed.
