STORYLINE:
Scores of people gathered at a candlelight vigil in Lisbon on Wednesday to express their solidarity with the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
Those who attended the vigil placed lit candles next to a list of names of Palestinians killed in the recent fighting between Israel and Hamas.
Dima Abu Sbeitan, a 39-year-old Palestinian artist living in Portugal, said recent months have been very difficult for her and her family, worrying about relatives living in Gaza.
“It doesn’t get easy, it’s a daily struggle, every day you wake up and you say "no I’m not defeated." Everyday you say "I’m gonna give more love to my community and we will get through this,"” she said.
In Gaza, Israeli troops battled Hamas militants in the centre of enclave’s second-largest city, Khan Younis, the military said, pressing a ground offensive that has sent tens of thousands of Palestinians fleeing to the territory's southernmost edge and prevented aid groups from delivering food, water and other supplies.
