Jo24 reported that a significant number of
Irbid's children participated in the event organized by the municipality to
declare the city's children's solidarity with their peers who are exposed to
the worst forms of killing and abuse in Gaza.
The children released balloons with the colors
of the Palestinian flag into the city's sky, carrying both the Jordanian and
Palestinian flags to emphasize the unity of the two peoples in the past,
present, and future. They also held placards condemning massacres that violate
all children's rights, laws, and international conventions that emphasize
protecting children from the effects of wars during their outbreaks.
Many of the participating children delivered
speeches and recited poetry in both Arabic and English, expressing their
feelings filled with innocence and sincerity towards the children in Gaza who
have been affected by the cruel hands. They conveyed their hope for an
immediate end to the violence and for the children of Gaza to live in peace,
granting them happiness, love, and the right to play.
Dr. Nabeel Al-Kofahi, the mayor of Greater
Irbid Municipality, stated that this event aimed to instill the love for
Palestine in the hearts of children and the new generations who will carry the
torch in the coming days. It also serves as an educational effort to make them
aware that the Palestinian cause is the main and central issue for all Arabs
and Muslims.
Al-Kofahi added that the municipality
represents the conscience of the citizens and their directions. Since taking
office, the municipal council has interacted with all social issues, working to
highlight the role of development and partnerships with all institutions.
