Havana, November 29 (RHC)-- With a cantata in support of the Palestinian people against the aggression of the Israeli army, the International Day of Solidarity with the cause of that Arab nation will be celebrated today in Havana.
The centrally located Cuba Pavilion will serve as the stage for the meeting where Cuban and foreign students and other citizens will demand the immediate cessation of the genocide that the Zionist government of Benjamin Netanyahu has been committing daily in the Gaza Strip for more than a year.
The participants will once again denounce the complicity of the United States in Tel Aviv's war onslaught, which has so far caused the death of more than 43,800 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, and more than 700 in the West Bank, 70 percent of them women and children, according to UN data.
This Caribbean nation has expressed on countless occasions its unconditional support for the right of Palestine to be a free and sovereign State, and several of the massive demonstrations of support for this cause have been led by its highest leaders.
President Miguel Díaz-Canel met on November 17 at the Palace of the Revolution (headquarters of the Executive) with 144 young Palestinians who are studying medicine in the Caribbean nation, to whom he assured that "Cuba is, and will always be, on the side of the brother people of Palestine."
Currently, around 200 young people from that nation are studying medicine in Cuba, 26 of them women, in the classrooms of the Latin American School of Medicine (ELAM), in Havana, and in other universities of Medical Sciences located in Santi Spíritus, Cienfuegos, Holguín and Guantánamo.
They come mostly from the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, the Palestinian diaspora and also Jordan, Syria and Lebanon.
The General Assembly of the United Nations (UN) declared November 29 as the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People in commemoration of the date on which this general body approved Resolution 181 (II) on the partition of Palestine.
