Today, on World Post Day, we reflect on the power of communication to connect people, bridge distances, and uphold the dignity of every human being.
But for Palestinians, communication is not just a service; it is a struggle.
For decades, the Palestinian people have faced blockades, occupation, and systemic restrictions that limit their ability to send and receive mail freely. Letters are delayed, censored, or intercepted. Families are cut off. Identity documents, educational certificates, medical records, and even love letters have been held hostage by a system designed to control movement and silence a people.
While the world celebrates the free flow of mail, Palestine remains cut off its voice obstructed.
True communication requires freedom, dignity, and justice.
On this World Post Day, we stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people and reaffirm the right of every person to speak, to connect, and to be heard.
Freedom of communication must not be a privilege; it is a human right.
From every corner of the world, may our messages continue to break the walls of silence.
