A compact crowd gathered in the late afternoon today a few hundred meters from the Israeli embassy, shouting "We are all children of Gaza", "Long live the struggle of the Palestinian people", "Free Gaza" and "Gaza, Paris is with you", reports the news agency Agence France-Presse (AFP).
Many protesters arrived with Palestinian flags, others wore keffiyehs or held up posters with messages such as: "Do not kill a child, be it Jewish or Palestinian: Stop the bombings, free Palestine", "Rafah, Gaza, we are with you".
"Yesterday [Sunday], Palestinians were burned alive by Israeli bombings in a refugee camp. We saw videos of families removing their loved ones from burning tents. It is one more massacre", denounced François Rippe, vice-president of the Association France Palestine solidarité (AFPS), one of the organizers of the demonstration, interviewed by AFP.
By the end of the afternoon, the police had not been able to make an assessment of the number of people present at the protest which, according to François Ripe, exceeded "several thousand".
"They set fire to a refugee camp, burn people and we do not summon the Israeli ambassador to hold her accountable. It is simply unbearable", lamented Rippe.
The UN and many other countries condemned the Israeli attack on a camp for displaced persons in Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, and the United States once again called on Israel to "protect civilians".
For its part, the Israeli army said it was investigating what the prime minister described as a "tragic accident".
