Inishowen Palestine Solidarity Group held a “Mourning March” in Buncrana earlier this month
A march along most of the length of Inishowen is to take place next month to send solidarity to the people of Gaza.
Organised by Inishowen Palestine Solidarity Group, the 25-mile walk from Malin Head to Buncrana - the length of Gaza - is to take place on Saturday, September 13.
The group, which has been frequently holding events in Inishowen to highlight the war, including a “Mourning March” in Buncrana earlier this month, has described the walk as “our next, huge action”.
It is highlighting the contrast between Gaza - which is home to 2.1million people - and the peninsula, which has a population of 40,000.

People are being invited to do some of or the whole march, which is “to honour the dead, to fight for the living, to demand our government do better, and to send your solidarity to the people of Gaza”.
“There has been so much organising going on in the background for weeks for this one,” the group posted. “With various other groups campaigning for Gaza, we have pulled together a huge action for Inishowen.
“With the horrors that Gaza is currently facing, it is more important than ever to have as many people as possible raising their voices against this. Inishowen is a stark comparison to Gaza, the same length and more than twice the breadth. Yet in Gaza, 2.1 million are crammed into cities of tents and rubble.”
