PCIA Fundraising Dinner with Guest Speaker Francesca Albanese
On 12 November, the Ambassador of the State of Palestine and Counsellor Noura Saleh participated in a Fundraising Dinner organised by Palestinian Christians in Australia (PCIA) to support displaced families in Gaza and students in Palestine.
The main guest speaker at the event was Francesca Albanese, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967. In her speech, the Special Rapporteur clarified Israel’s violations of international law in Gaza, details of the unfolding humanitarian catastrophe, and highlighting Israel’s forcible displacement of the Palestinian people as collective punishment.
PCIA President Suzan Wahhab also delivered a moving speech on the occasion, expressing solidarity with our Palestinian people in Gaza, and urging the Australian government to call for a ceasefire without further delay.
