State of Palestine: Protesters flood Gazan streets in support of ceasefire delegation

Thousands of protesters took to the streets in Gaza Thursday to show support for the Palestinian negotiators who are currently discussing a potential long-term ceasefire with Israel in Egypt.

Demonstrators paraded through the Gaza strip, carrying Palestinian flags and banners baring Hamas' insignia. Hamas representatives were said to have addressed the crowd praising the nation's patience and strength during the conflict.

Palestinian representatives reached an agreement with Israel on August 4 for a 72 hour cease-fire, which went into effect at 08:00 (05.00 GMT) on August 5. Since the beginning of 'Operation Protective Edge' at least 1,849 Palestinians have been killed, 1,354 of them civilians, as reported by UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). Among the 1,849, around 400 of the victims were children. Sixty-four Israeli soldiers and three civilians were also killed during the conflict.
