Oslo’s city hall has raised the Palestinian flag in a show of solidarity with the people of Gaza, where thousands have lost their lives in Israel bombardment, AFP reports.

“When we know that more than 5,000 children have lost their lives, equivalent to more than 275 school classes, it is only natural to remember them today,” Oslo mayor Anne Lindboe has told AFP on the sidelines of the event, which brought together a handful of pro-Palestinian activists.

“It is very important to highlight that Oslo should be a city for everyone, where both our small Jewish minority and those with a Palestinian background should feel safe, seen and included.”
