“To take that which has been destroyed and turn it into a literal ‘beacon’ of hope is very powerful.”
Run, walk, ride or swim, wherever you are, in solidarity with Palestine and those demanding Palestinian rights around the world. Run any distance you choose from 5km to 55km, it doesn’t matter how far — it’s taking part in solidarity that counts.
It has been an amazing three days. It has confirmed how many people worldwide hold our brothers and sisters in Gaza and the West Bank in their hearts. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Jean, UK (Run The Wall Spring 2024 participant)
On Your Marks... Get Set...
On Friday 25th April, 10,000 Palestinian runners were due to be pounding the streets of Bethlehem for the 10th annual Palestine Marathon. However, the marathon has been postponed due to the current situation in the West Bank, so it’s more important than ever that we run in solidarity with our friends in Palestine over the same weekend.
Things you’d love to see ... people from all over the world running for the same cause! One day I’m sure we’ll be able to run in the streets of Palestine!
Karim Saad, UAE (2023)

These graceful, moving and poetic drawings show tenderness and fragility in the midst of war. Ghostly figures locked in a tender embrace, defiantly looking at the sky in resilience and dignity. Majed Shala beautifully documents the human and emotional cost of war in Gaza and its tragic consequences on relationships and everyday life.
Mariam bravely and fiercely creates artworks exploring the practice of Palestinian political prisoners smuggling sperm out of Israeli jails so that their wives can become pregnant. A doctor at a fertility clinic in Nablus stated that 22 women had undergone insemination using smuggled sperm. The success rate was low because of the difficulties of keeping sperm fresh during transportation from prisons in Israel to the West Bank.
“My current work is an echo of my exiled self. The employment of digital windows and messages is emblematic of my artistic method. My screen connects me to the world but detaches me from it. Although I no longer live in Gaza, I am still affected by feelings of isolation and captivity. My artwork is a dialogue with a new reality and a pursuit of an evasive happiness.”
Picasso stated: “Every act of creation begins with an act of destruction.” This is horribly true of Maha Daya’s paintings which document the consequences of Israeli warplanes’ strikes on Gaza. There is no beauty or life in these haunting artworks. The buildings have not collapsed. They are defiant and resilient and refuse to fall. They are monuments to injustice and devastation.
“Mohammed’s characters feel anonymous. The figures appear of varying origins — endless and with infinite colour. They are shadow characters with no rights in soil, sea, or sky. The displaced and alienated move through hazy colour spaces as if from a dream. They are escaping a brutal and painful reality in a desperate search for peace.”
At precisely 1 am on 16th May 2021, Israeli jets bombarded a densely populated residential area in the centre of Gaza City. Zainab was trapped under the rubble of her apartment block for 12 hours. She lost 22 members of her family in the attack. At the launch of her exhibition, she said, “I hope that you will not praise my paintings or document my achievement with joy. Instead, I hope you will help me spread my cause and raise my voice to hold this occupier to account.”
Mahmoud uses medicinal blister packs to construct intelligent, sophisticated and meticulous architectural cityscapes. The symbolism of the impact of the ongoing conflict in Gaza and its affect on mental health is profound. A recent report by Save the Children stated that over 80% of children in Gaza suffer from mental health problems.
