STORYLINE:
The names of Palestinian children killed in Gaza were read out loud in Portugal’s capital as part of a day-long tribute on Thursday.
The symbolic demonstration was organized by several organizations and civil society groups.
Set in one of the most central squares in Lisbon, locals and tourists alike paused for a moment to look at the names and the stories of some of the children killed in the Israel-Hamas war.
According to UNICEF, more than 18,000 children have been killed in the Gaza Strip in the last 22 months.
João Pico, a participant in the protest, said he wanted to take action beyond "a like on social media".
"Civil society must do something… we need to go a bit beyond this," he added.
Hamas-led militants killed around 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducted 251 in the Oct. 7, 2023 attack that ignited the war.
They still hold 50 hostages, around 20 of them believed to be alive, after most of the rest were released in ceasefires or other deals.
Israel’s retaliatory military offensive has killed more than 61,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
The ministry doesn’t distinguish between civilians and combatants in its count but says around half the dead have been women and children.
The ministry is part of the Hamas government but is staffed by medical professionals.
The U.N. and other independent experts view its figures as the most reliable casualty count.
Israel has disputed the figures but hasn’t provided its own.
