Life in Gaza continues to get more difficult for its citizens. Restrictions in food and medical supplies means that many more people go without the basics. Four students decided to do something to help raise money and more importantly awareness. Gearoid O’Cuinn, John Maher, Eoghan Quinn and Ronan Sheehan are going to cycle 4,000 miles to Gaza and all the money raised will go to Medical Aid for Palestinians.
