As a heartfelt gesture under the "Green Caravan" programme, 355 olive trees were planted to honor the life of 355 child martyrs from Gaza, symbolizing Palestinian steadfastness and the persistence of life.

The activity was a collaborative effort between APN, the "Family Pledge" initiative (a programme of the Women's Global Coalition for Quds and Palestine), and Thurah Association.

One hundred children and their families gathered to plant the trees on a plot of land in Al-Amiriyah, Amman, now named the "Gaza’s Martyrs Garden". The children were moved and enthusiastic, driven by a desire to commemorate the lives of the lost children. Each tree represents both a symbol of sacrifice and a testament to enduring hope and life despite profound sorrow.

This activity extends beyond tree planting; it reflects the power of collective memory, ensuring that the voices of the past remain alive and their roots firmly anchored in the land that binds us all.
