Interfaith Coalition Unveils 100-Meter Shroud of Gaza Children's Names at UN Headquarters
A coalition of interfaith groups and the Palestinian UN delegation unveiled a 100-meter shroud listing the names of over 20,000 deceased Palestinian children at the UN headquarters in New York on September 18, 2026. The event, titled 'The Shroud of the Children of Gaza,' included a joint religious ceremony and a speech by Palestinian Ambassador Riyad Mansour demanding an immediate ceasefire and Israeli withdrawal. Organizers aim to secure a permanent display for the shroud and plan similar vigils in Washington, DC, and Philadelphia, coinciding with the UN General Assembly High-level Week.
