Tahrir Murtaja, director of the Positive Energy Center, said: "The concert is a message to the world that besieged Gaza, which has suffered years of repeated aggressions, still springs with hope and loves life."
The concert boasted national Palestinian and heritage songs, whilst the audience responded with enthusiastic songs, national anthems, and raised Palestinian flags.
The situation in the Palestinian territories exploded on April 13, as a result of attacks committed by the occupation police and settlers in Al-Aqsa Mosque and Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in occupied Jerusalem (Al-Quds), in an attempt to vacate the homes and hand them over to settlers.
The Israeli aggression extended over to Gaza, conducting air, land, and sea bombardments, resulting in the death of 254 people, including 66 children, 39 women, and 17 elderly people, in addition to 1948 injuries, according to the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip.
A ceasefire took effect between the Palestinian resistance factions and "Israel", after 11 days of Israeli raids on the Gaza Strip, home to more than two million Palestinians.
