Tullamore for Gaza issues open invite to show solidarity with the people of Palestine
TULLAMORE for Gaza, a local group formed late last year, in support and solidarity with the people of Gaza, is holding a bridgil (bridge vigil) to one year of genocide in Gaza on Kilbeggan Bridge in Tullamore at 6 pm, this Friday evening, October 11.
Similar bridgils have been held earlier this year, with great support from locals and passing traffic.
Bridgils have been held across the country in recent months, with some towns and counties holding them on a weekly basis.
Fiona Dunkin, organiser with Tullamore for Gaza, explained the importance of marking the anniversary of the beginning of the atrocities in Gaza: "365 days of genocide. The world has been livestreaming atrocity after atrocity, day after day, and yet nothing has changed. At this stage, we thought that we would be discussing how we rebuild Gaza, its buildings, its infrastructure, its people's lives, hearts and dreams.
"It has now been estimated that over 100,000 Palestinians have died needlessly in this 'war', and thousands more injured. And for what? We think that there is more that Ireland can do. If you feel the same, please join us on Friday.
"Tullamore for Gaza is calling for the people of Tullamore to gather family and friends to show support and solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Palestine. Attendees are asked to bring along Palestinian flags, tea lights and homemade placards. The event is family-friendly and open to all."
