Plaid Cymru MEP Jill Evans was today due to address a rally in Cardiff and call for a ceasefire in the Middle East.
She visited Lebanon in March invitation of CYTÛN, the Welsh churches group, and has been horrified by recent events.
“There must be an immediate ceasefire – the killing must stop,” she said. “We must stand up for the innocent victims of war.
“When I visited Lebanon in March I saw a country which had succeeded in rebuilding itself. I found that the old images of devastation belonged to history. But now, the clock has been turned back to such an extent that the country has been virtually destroyed.
“In addition to what is happening in Lebanon, deaths in Gaza continue nearly unnoticed with at least 100 Palestinians killed in the last month.”
