CLIFTONVILLE’S 2017 boys’ team have teamed up with Medical Aid Palestine (MAP) to help raise awareness of the ongoing crisis in war-torn Gaza.

The MAP emblem will adorn the sleeve of the 2017s Cliftonville jersey for the new season in an act of solidarity with the children of Palestine.

Zahra Yassine, Community Events Manager at MAP, said: “From everyone at MAP we would like to say a big thank you to the Cliftonville 2017s football team for raising awareness of our work and for your solidarity with children in Gaza.

“We are touched by the support for MAP and Palestinians living under Israel’s indiscriminate bombardment of Gaza.

“Your support is essential to help us to continue to provide medical aid and life-saving care to Palestinians in Gaza that have been facing immense suffering. From the bottom of all our hearts – thank you.”
