In honor of International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People – an event that takes place on the 29th of November of each year to mark the anniversary of resolution 181, also known as the Partition Plan. Observed by the United Nations and held at the UN headquarters in New York, Geneva, Vienna and Nairobi, today is about showing support to the thousands suffering under Isreali occupation.
In spite of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict with its never-ending turmoil and violence, there is one remaining hope of stability and that is the region’s wealth of heritage and beauty! It has remained relatively undisturbed by the conflict and is for sure worth a visit for all historians and admirers out there. So, to get a taste for Palestine’s undeniable beauty scroll down for some inspiring pictures.
“In the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the world made a promise to leave no one behind. In this spirit, the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People is an opportunity to support the Palestinian people’s aspiration for peace based on respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. It is a time to reaffirm that solidarity is a transformational force, which builds on the diversity of humanity to bind all societies together.”
Audrey Azoulay, Director-General of UNESCO
