Khaled’s story, with Amal El Khawaja

On Sunday the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Portugal
recognised Palestinian statehood, with more countries expected to
follow.


Almost two years since the October 7th attacks by Hamas and since
Israel began its genocidal campaign in Gaza, the international
community is finally reacting.


Over 65,000 Palestinians, among them many children, have been
killed in what the United Nations Commission of Enquiry and the
International Association of Genocide Scholars say is a genocide.


One such child is seven year old Khaled, who was killed in the
bombing of Rafah on 17th October 2023. Khaled’s mother Amal El
Khawaja, who works with the Norwegian Refugee Agency and now
lives in Oslo, will visit Cork this weekend to tell her son’s
story in a series of public events organised by Coffee for
Palestine. She is the guest on today’s Deirdre O’Shaughnessy
Podcast.
