The Nakba remains a deeply traumatic event in the Palestinian collective memory and continues to shape their struggle for justice and for their right to return to their homes.   \nThe ĢƵ Palestinian Rights Committee will commemorate the anniversary at ĢƵHQ\, pursuant to GA resolution A/RES/79/82. A Special Meeting will be organized on 15 May\, in the ECOSOC Chamber\, 10 a.m. – 12.30 p.m. (NY Time)\, in which the President of the General Assembly will give a keynote speech. You can watch be livestream here.  \nCommemorations will continue with an exclusive screening of the documentary “From Ground Zero”. Created by 22 artists living under siege in the Gaza Strip\, this powerful film offers a vital and deeply contextualized perspective beyond the brutal media live stream on Gaza. Through bold uses of allegory and raw creative expression\, the filmmakers bear witness to life under constant bombardment and forced starvation. Their testimonies reveal the fragments of a daily struggle not only to survive\, but to do so with unyielding dignity. This exclusive preview will take place at 1:15 p.m. in the ECOSOC chamber at the ĢƵ Headquarters in New York. \nThe screening is open to valid ĢƵ Ground Pass holders (delegates\, staff\, ĢƵ accredited NGOs).  URL:/unispal/event/commemoration-of-the-nakba-2025/ LOCATION:Economic and Social Council Chamber (ECOSOC)\, NY\, United States CATEGORIES:Committee Meetings END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
