We Have Not Forgotten Palestine, We Have Not Forgotten Gaza…
The telecommunications sector serves as one of the most vital bridges connecting people across the world, enabling communication and fostering mutual understanding among societies. The true purpose of technology extends beyond the transmission of information; it is to bring people closer together, strengthen solidarity, and contribute to building a shared future.
Today, the humanitarian tragedy unfolding in Gaza continues to have a profound impact on millions of lives, with children, the elderly, and civilians bearing the heaviest burden. Cities can be rebuilt, but the lives lost, childhoods interrupted, and deep human suffering will remain in our collective memory. Remembering these tragedies is not only a moral obligation but a shared responsibility of humanity.
As TUYAD, representing the telecommunications industry, we firmly believe that human life, the freedom of communication, and universal humanitarian values must be protected under all circumstances. We emphasize that the rights to life, healthcare, education, and uninterrupted access to communication are fundamental human rights that must be safeguarded even in times of conflict.
We believe that communication should unite rather than divide, promote understanding rather than hatred, and encourage dialogue rather than conflict. Effective communication is one of the strongest foundations for trust, lasting peace, and a shared future among nations and communities.
We affirm that we have not forgotten the suffering experienced in Gaza. We continue to hope for a world where peace prevails over war, hope over destruction, and communication over silence. We believe that the international community has a vital responsibility to support initiatives that uphold humanitarian values, protect civilians, and contribute to achieving a just and lasting peace.
The collective conscience of humanity requires us to defend the right to life of every innocent person, regardless of language, religion, ethnicity, or geography. We remember the suffering endured in Gaza, honor with deep respect the civilians who have lost their lives, wish a swift recovery to the injured, and raise our voices in support of a future where children grow up with hope instead of fear, communication remains free and accessible, and lasting peace becomes a reality.
