Hawzah News Agency-A Palestinian exhibition portraying life and destruction in Gaza was canceled by authorities in the German town of Heidelberg. The organizers have expressed fury about the move.

The exhibition, held under the guise of a pro-Palestinian group, “Palästina-/Nahost-Initiative” was canceled shortly before it was due to start on August 10.

Entitled "Experiences, Fears and Dreams – Children in Palestine," the event was supposed to host drawings from two rehabilitation centers in Gaza and Ramallah. Some of the pieces showed explosions, burning cities and soldiers with assault rifles.

Organizers wanted to check the drawings place at the local citizen center, hosting the exhibit. "One of our activists placed the pictures in the Citizen Office Center on August 5, and wanted to check the things the following Monday. But everything was already taken down," Agnes Bennhold from “Palästina-/Nahost-Initiative” told.

Officials also admitted they “should have checked the pictures” at an earlier stage before giving a green light to the exhibition.

The event however caused no such controversies while it was held in major German cities like Munich, Bonn and Stuttgart, before it was set to take place in.
