The Israeli attack on the al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza, which killed 500 civilians, was protested in the capital Lefkoşa on Tuesday.

Demonstrators demanded an immediate halt to the attacks targeting Gaza.

A group of people reacting to Israel’s hospital attack gathered in front of the British High Commission office in Lefkoşa on Tuesday and shouted slogans.

Carrying Turkish, Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) and Palestinian flags, the protesters read out a press statement in which they stated that Israel massacred Palestinian civilians without discriminating between babies, children, women and men by attacking the hospital on live broadcast and called on the international community to stop the attacks on Gaza.

After the reading of the press release, the protesters organized a convoy with vehicles and toured around the streets of the capital.
