Stockholm Demonstrators Denounce Israeli Strikes on Gaza in Defiance of Ceasefire

In Stockholm, demonstrators took to the streets, calling for an end to what they describe as Israeli actions against Palestinians in Gaza.

A number of demonstrators were observed carrying Palestinian flags and placards.

During the rally, Palestinian-Swedish activist Rana Kadri highlighted that Israeli military actions are intensifying the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Babies in Gaza are reportedly succumbing to the cold, not due to extreme weather conditions, but as a result of the ongoing blockade by Israeli forces preventing the entry of critical supplies and humanitarian aid, including medicine, clothing, and blankets, according to statements by Kadri.

Since Israel initiated its military actions in Gaza in October 2023, more than 71,000 Palestinians have reportedly lost their lives due to the operations conducted by Israeli forces.

Over 171,000 Palestinian individuals have sustained injuries in the catastrophic conflict with Israel, which has left Gaza in a state of devastation.

The majority of those affected by the recent wave of brutal violence are reported to be women and children.

In defiance of the ceasefire that commenced on October 10, Israeli forces have reportedly continued their offensive actions against Palestinians, resulting in the deaths of nearly 500 individuals and injuring 1,313 others in Gaza, as reported by the health ministry of the Palestinian territory.
