Arabs in Britain Called to Support Gaza at AUK’s 2nd Anniversary Gala

12 September 2024

The Al Arab in UK (AUK) Platform is inviting supporters to attend its Gala Dinner 2024, celebrating two years since its launch.

Now, the AUK platform is set to commemorate this special occasion on Monday, 21st October 2024, at 6:00 PM, at Richmond Hall, Hilton London Metropole.

Proceeds from ticket sales, donations, and an art auction will go towards Action For Humanity (AFH), supporting crucial humanitarian projects in Gaza. The theme of the evening, “United for Gaza“, reflects the shared commitment to providing aid and solidarity during these difficult times.
