Lula welcomes Brazilians evacuated from Gaza in Brasilia

Brazil's president Lula da Silva welcomed to Brasilia, 22 Brazilians and 10 members of their families who had been evacuated from Gaza on Sunday via the land border with Egypt, after more than a month of waiting in the conflict zone.

Brazil's president accused Israel of various acts of terrorism in the Gaza Strip "by not taking into account that children are not at war". He also accused Israel of "dropping bombs where there are children, hospitals, on the pretext that a terrorist is there."
