Gaza Memorial Service
Gaza-Israel Conflict 2023
For over 40,000 martyrs
Thank you for participating in the reading.
The next event will be held on July 13, 2025. We look forward to your continued support.
Request for participation
On October 7, 2024, one year into the Palestinian-Israeli war, Al Jazeera published a list of the 34,000 Palestinian martyrs whose lives were lost in the war.
We are looking for people to read out the "Names of Lives Stolen."
The list of names to be read will be written in katakana. You can read it at a time that is convenient for you, even if it is just for a short time.
Thank you very much for your cooperation.
