International Day of Solidarity with Palestinian people
In 1977, United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) passed a resolution to observe 29 November as the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People & requested the General Secretary to establish a Special Unit within the secretariat on Palestinian Rights.
Pakistan last year announced 21 May as the observance Day for Solidarity with the people of Palestine. The decision came during the last year’s Israeli aggression and airstrikes on Gaza Strip.
