Various programs, rallies, and ceremonies were held in different countries on Wednesday on the occasion of the United Nations International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.
The annual observation on November 29 marks the day in 1947 that the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution on partitioning Palestine.
The International Day has been commemorated since 1978.
This year, it took place against the backdrop of war on the Gaza Strip.
Palestinians in Gaza are suffering “a humanitarian catastrophe”, said UN Secretary General António Guterres in his message for the Day.
“Almost 1.7 million people have been forced from their homes – but nowhere is safe,” he said, while also warning that “the situation in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, risks boiling over.”
