International visits continue for our experiential exhibition, "Hope for Return: Al-Awda – The Story of the Olive Tree"—organized in partnership between Memur-Sen and the International Labour Confederation (ILC)—within the scope of COP31.

When a person is silent, they get tired, not when they shed tears. Wiping away the tear in the drawing of the child from Gaza points to the beauty of your heart, while shedding tears points to the virtue of being human.

Although our languages, backgrounds, social statuses and roles may differ, we are all human first and foremost. All hearts beat for Gaza. Our immersive exhibition, “Hope of Return: Al-Awda – The Story of the Olive Tree,” has left a lasting impression at the COP31 Summit.

Remarks by Ali Yalçın, President of the International Labour Confederation (ILC)ILC President Ali Yalçın addressed the structural causes and consequences of the climate crisis, as well as the solutions needed to ensure a just and inclusive transition, during the panel titled “A Common Agenda for a Just Transition”, held at the ILO Pavilion as part of COP31.

Greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the destruction in Gaza have reached 33.2 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO₂e).

From Al Jazeera’s coverage to heartfelt messages of solidarity from international visitors, our exhibition continues to bring Gaza’s story to the attention of the world.
