Hundreds of candles flickered on the seafront at Ramlet al-Baida on Sunday evening in commemoration of Gaza's fallen children.
The vigil was one of 13 organized by Mothers Across the World for Gaza in cities across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and North America to mark the passage of 40 days since the first child was killed during the Israeli military's December-January offensive against the Gaza Strip.
After having successfully held their first vigil only in Beirut three weeks ago on January 18, the day marking the ceasefires that ended the 22-day Israeli offensive that killed more than 1,300 Palestinians, an estimated 300 of whom were children, the 10 women decided to reach out to personal contacts they had in other countries.
