Hundreds of people gathered in front of the Israeli embassy in Stockholm on Sunday to show their support for Palestinians who have been subjected to a massive Israeli military assault on Gaza, where the death toll has surpassed the grim figure of 40,400 since October of last year.

People gathered in Odenplan to protest Israel’s attacks on Gaza and marched to the embassy, Anadolu reported. 

The demonstrators, who demanded an immediate end to Israel's attacks on Gaza, carried banners reading "Free Palestine, Free Gaza," "Stop the genocide," and "Boycott Israel.”

Uno Horm, one of the activists who was at the protest, described the Swedish government's continued support for Israel as a "tragic."

"The genocide in Gaza is the worst thing that has happened since World War II and the Nazi genocide," Horm told Anadolu.
