Reading of Names of Children Killed in Gaza
The names of around 20,000 children believed to have been killed during the war in Gaza will be read out at co-ordinated events across Preston.
On Sunday, 26th October, between 4pm and 5pm, 20 different locations across the city will join the reading of the names, including mosques, churches, and outdoor venues.
More than 200 people have volunteered to read the names, with 1,000 names announced simultaneously at each location within the space of an hour.
