The International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People is being marked across the world today, including in Pakistan. The day is observed to show global support for the rights, dignity, and freedom of the Palestinian people, and to remind the world that their struggle is still not over.
This day has been observed every year since 1977. It is linked to the United Nations decision made in 1947, which proposed the partition of Palestine.
The anniversary of that decision was later chosen as a day to highlight the issue, encourage discussions, and remind the international community of its responsibility toward the Palestinian people.
Under UN General Assembly Resolution 60/37, countries across the world are encouraged to organize activities that help people understand the Palestinian cause.
These activities can include cultural programs, exhibitions, seminars, public messages, and community events. The goal is to create awareness, promote dialogue, and keep global attention focused on the long-standing conflict.
In many countries, people are holding peaceful gatherings, sharing educational material, and expressing support for justice and equality for Palestinians. Social media campaigns, public statements, and solidarity messages are also being shared widely.
In Pakistan, political leaders, civil society, and the public are taking part in different activities to show their support. Pakistan has always backed the Palestinian right to self-determination and continues to call for a fair and lasting solution to the conflict.
The International Day of Solidarity is a reminder that Palestinians continue to face challenges, including displacement, restricted freedoms, and ongoing conflict.
The day urges the world to stand together, support peace efforts, and work toward a future where Palestinians can live with dignity, freedom, and full human rights.
