In a move expressing solidarity with the ongoing conflict in Gaza, Sharjah police have announced a ban on New Year’s Eve fireworks and celebrations. The decision aims to draw attention to the plight of Palestinians in war-torn Gaza, where the Israel-Hamas conflict has claimed over 20,000 lives, with a significant number being women and children.
The ban, announced on Tuesday night, underscores the authorities’ commitment to stand with the people of Gaza during these challenging times. Legal actions will be taken against any violators, and both institutions and individuals are urged to cooperate with the directive.
