–President Ali says, as over $72.5M raised to support the People of Palestine

PRESIDENT, Dr Irfaan Ali has continued his call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, and demanded global leaders to not be silent on the “publicly televised genocide.”

His call came at a time when over $72.5 million was raised through donations from persons across the country, during the Qiyaam Lailatul Qadr– A night of Prayer for Global Peace, Guyana and Palestine, on Saturday evening.

These funds are direct support for the People of Palestine.

Joining President Ali in his call for peace was United Nations (UN) Resident Coordinator, Yesim Oruc.

Guyana is not a stranger to aiding countries in need, Oruc said, as she reflected on how the government had mobilised aid for her home, Türkiye, a little over a year ago.
