WATCH: Castledaly man arrives in London on journey to West Bank

By Rebekah O'Reilly

Castledaly activist Brian Martin arrived in London this week, after setting out on the journey of a lifetime on Monday (September 15).

The 27-year-old is endeavouring to hitchhike from Westmeath to the border of Palestine, the West Bank, west of the Jordan River, in aid of the Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF).

Since beginning his mission, Brian has raised €500 for the charity. He spent his first two days in Dublin before taking a ferry from Dublin Port to Holyhead in Wales.

From there, he hitchhiked with seven different people to Chester on the England/Wales border. By day three, he had reached Baldock, just outside London.

The farm labourer arrived in London on Friday (September 19). There, he joined an IJAN Jews Against Genocide event, as well as a demonstration in support of the Sumud Flotilla, which in recent days has faced “alarmingly dangerous escalation, with multiple boats reporting targeted explosions”.

The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) is the largest civilian maritime mission organized to combat Israel's siege on Gaza. Coordinated by grassroots organisers and solidarity activists from over 40 countries, the flotilla is a nonviolent humanitarian mission responding to the ongoing genocide in Palestine.

He also attended the Community Camp 4 Palestine (CC4P), a 24/7 camp based opposite the US embassy in London.

"They're a fantastic group of people doing brilliant work here," Brian said.

On Monday (September 22), Brian attended an Action for Humanity fundraising event, where he listened to speaker including Egyptian journalist Rahma Zein, American-Kuwaiti journalist Ahmed Shihab-Eldin and British surgeon Dr Khaled Dawas.

Brian intends to continue his journey to the West Bank later this week.
