Mothers Across the World for Gaza - Derry

category derry | anti-war / imperialism | event notice author Thursday February 05, 2009 14:49author by George Rowauthor email gh_row at yahoo dot co dot uk Report this post to the editors

Reading the names of the children killed in Gaza.

This is part of a global solidarity event taking place across the Middle East, Europe, the US and Canada, marking the 40th day commemoration of the death of the first child in Gaza.

Synchronised events are taking place around the world in:
Amman, Beirut, Ballybofey, Derry, Dubai, Edmonton-Alberta, Helsinki, Manchester, Nablus and Palo Alto-CA and other places.

Through the simple act of reading aloud the names of the children killed we aim to counteract the dehumanisation of the casualties as cold statistics.

This event is taking place on the new-ish steps Between Richmond Centre and Foyleside Shopping Centre
(at the junction of Linenhall Street and Newmarket Street.)

Men, women and children are invited to join us as we offer our support and condolences to the mothers of Gaza. We will be reading the names of more than four hundred children killed by Israel's attack on Gaza.

The area administered by Derry City Council is roughly the same size as Gaza. The people of Derry have kept the memory of those killed on Bloody Sunday for 37 years. The scale of death and destruction in Israel's attack on Gaza was such that they have suffered the equivalent of one hundred Bloody Sundays in less than a month.

This event is organised under the auspices of 'Mothers Across the World for Gaza', but you don't have to be a mother to take part.

We invite everyone from Derry who wants to express their support for the people of Gaza to come along on Sunday. Whether it is to listen, or to share in the reading of the names, everyone will be welcome to take part.

This is part of a global initiative:

that would be happy to have other locations join in.
