Join Crystal Palace Friends of Palestine to hear from friends able to talk about the current situation in Palestine and for Palestinians:
Farah has been an activist for Palestine for 20 years. Since January 2024, she has travelled to Cairo, Egypt volunteering with an international charity to provide humanitarian aid into Gaza and subsequently led her own initiatives to support Palestinian refugees surviving in Cairo.
Paula has recently returned from three months south of Hebron, as part of the Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel. There she reported on human rights violations, including attacks on communities by soldiers, police and settlers, preventing farmers from accessing their land, road blocks and other mechanisms to stop Palestinians from travelling freely.
We will then hear from Iyas AlQasem, co-founder of Hope and Play charity, on their work to support children in Gaza,
