UN global event on Palestine will be virtual due to Covid-19 pandemic
Palestinians celebrate UN General Assembly's decision to allow their flag to be hoisted at the UN headquarters, by raising a large version of it in the occupied West Bank village of Nabi Saleh near Ramallah on September 11, 2015.
The United Nations has turned the annual International Day of Solidarity with Palestine People into a virtual event to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
A programme issued on Monday says the event, which has been observed every year since 1977, will take place online, away from the traditional commemorations that see it happen at all UN headquarters in New York, Nairobi, Vienna and Geneva.
