More than 350 Bahraini children took part in a Festival of Solidarity with the Palestinian Child on Saturday, reported the Gulf Daily News. 

The youngsters, aged seven to 12 years, took part in a host of activities, including poetry readings, musical performances and short plays. 

The children also held a march and waved Palestinian and Bahraini flags, said the paper. 

Amnesty International reported early this year that almost 100 Palestinian children had been killed by Israeli soldiers, nearly all in situations where the occupation troops were under no immediate threat. 

The latest Palestinian uprising against 34 years of Israeli military occupation began last September – Albawaba.com
