THE NEU has a long and proud history of standing in solidarity with the Palestinian people, going back to 1982 when the massacres in Sabra and Shatila refugee camps took place. In 2013, we took our first delegation to visit and learn first-hand the daily experience of the Palestinian people living under occupation.
With every delegation that we have taken, members have come back inspired by the steadfastness of the Palestinian people and determined to do what they always ask: to tell their story because their voices are silenced. These delegations have enabled us to build strong links with educators and partner organisations, including the General Union of Palestinian Teachers.
Since October last year, we have watched in horror the impact of the war on Gaza. Over 42,000 Palestinians killed, over two-thirds of them women and children.
