At least 450 children from 28 schools in Karachi signed a solidarity message for the children of Gaza and made a mural of peace after writing peace slogans.
The exercise was part of an activity titled ‘children say nO to war, violence and terrorism’ organised on Tuesday at a local school.
The sufferings of the people of Palestine, particularly children, were discussed in the interactive meeting, which was followed by questions from children.
After the meeting, a message of solidarity and support was signed by each and every child. It will be sent to the Palestinian embassy in Islamabad.
All participants were members of the Right-On Network, a youth network comprising the Children’s Museum for Peace and Human Rights. They had gathered to express support for the children of Gaza and Swat.
