The event will include an Art exhibition created by university students in Gaza and the West bank, short documentaries, Guest speakers highlighting the current situation affecting the future of Jerusalem, Palestinian traditional folk sketches and spoken word.
As many of you may already know, many Palestinian families in Jerusalem now live in fear of imminent eviction by the Israeli authorities in order to make way for new tourist attractions and other planned ventures. These escalations have seen hundreds of houses being issued demolition orders, and many families receiving orders to flee. GUPS UK has launched a campaign to raise awareness of these recent demolitions and increase in inhuman attacks, intimidation and violence against the Palestinian residents of Jerusalem with night raids, army checkpoints and violent harassment becoming a norm.
