The event, held on Saturday, November 25, 2023, at the Katsina Multipurpose Women's Center conference room in Katsina City, aimed to shed light on the ongoing conflict between Palestine and Israel.
Engr. Hamis Imam, articulating the purpose of the meeting, emphasized its significance beyond religious boundaries. He asserted, "The issue of Palestine is not only for Muslims; it is for all of humanity, transcending religious and ideological differences. This gathering is a demonstration of compassion and a platform for collective prayers."
