Palestine Solidarity Network is pleased to be one of the Edmonton sponsors of Canadian Friends of Sabeel’s Canada-wide live three-hour video-conference on Gaza, with Q&A and opportunities to take collective action.
On Nov 26th, three Palestinians will connect with over a dozen locations across Canada for an in depth discussion on current medical, social, and legal issues in Gaza!
The three panelists are:
– Suhaila Tarazi (director of Al Ahli Arab Hospital, Gaza)
– Sami El-Yousef (regional director of the Catholic Near East Welfare Association – CNEWA)
– Raji Sourani (lawyer, recipient of Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award and director of Palestinian Centre for Human Rights – Gaza)
Nearly 2 million people in Gaza live in an open air prison, under a severe blockade imposed by the government of Israel. According to a recent UN report, Gaza will be uninhabitable by 2020 if things continue along the current trajectory. Please join us for this vitally important opportunity to hear voices from Gaza.
This is a free event, but donations will be accepted, with all proceeds going medical relief projects in Gaza.
Free parking is available.
