Irish activist on board says convoy aims to focus minds on man-made famine impacting the Palestinians

I have a voice on social media and I encourage activists to go the extra mile. I knew I had to do this myself.

My partner Claire was OK with me going, which is incredible.

She completely understands and supports me, which makes all the difference.

SACRIFICE

There is risk involved, there is sacrifice, and mostly I am worried for my family being worried about me.

If I was a single man it would be different, but I don't believe in a hierarchy of humanity. I am appalled a man-made famine is ongoing and I can't get my head around it.
