Do please join us for the second of our most important fundraisers of the year. We are joined live on zoom by the Palestinian Ambassador to the UK, Dr Husam Zomlot, children from Syria, Palestine, Uganda and Ghana and frontline workers from Jordan, Gaza, the West Bank, Syria, Yemen, Ghana and Uganda. For entertainment, Mark Thomas and Imran Yusuf provide the laughter, Ken Loach is in discussion with Palestinian film-maker Farah Nabulsi, Jon Snow talks about his experiences in Uganda since working as a VSO teacher there in 1967 and young musicians from the Edward Said National Conservatory of Music will perform enchanting Arab music and we have a selection of African music too.

On the night we will be raising funds for:

• West Bank Palestine: Advanced training in critical care of COVID-19 infected patients for nurses, doctors and allied professionals in Gaza and the West Bank and donation of more medical grade oxygen delivery systems
• West Bank: Essential equipment to expand our Basic Life Support training in the IMET2000 Acute Trauma Unit in Ramallah
