Prof Karma Nablusi & Bella Freud organise an urgent benefit event for their charity "Hoping" which works with Palestinian child refugees growing up in vast refugee camps.
With the help of filmmaker and activist Mark Donne.
His message:
"This is extremely URGENT ... you might have seen from international media recently of the Trump administration’s decision to break with decades of US government convention and withhold much of its funding to UNRWA - the UN body that runs all the Palestinian refugee camps (a third of the world’s refugees), which means the organisation has an immediate shortfall of almost one-third of its budget ... the implications of this are absolutely terrifying.
We're doing an urgent benefit on 4th June at the Roundhouse with Patti Smith, The Libertines and Loyle Carner, Eric Cantona (I know!) and other special guests."

MAIN SPACE
HOPING FOR PALESTINE
EVERYTHING IS RECORDED WITH SPECIAL GUESTS + PATTI SMITH + LOYLE CARNER
Patti Smith, The Libertines, Loyle Carner, illuminations from Eric Cantona, and with DJing throughout the night by Jamie xx and a special guest – this is some of the incredible talent performing at ‘Hoping for Palestine’, a concert in aid of the HOPING Foundation’s work.
Limited edition posters designed as a gesture of support for the children of Palestine by artists Tracey Emin and Robert Del Naja from Massive Attack, will also be available at the event.
HOPING stands for Hope and Optimism for Palestinians in the Next Generation. It is a charitable foundation that provides grants to organisations working with Palestinian refugee children living in refugee camps in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, the West Bank and Gaza.
