Run The Wall: Press release
Press release date
For immediate release
[Name of participant] from [Name of town] is [Running] [Walking] [Riding] the Israeli Separation Wall, with thousands of participants worldwide, in solidarity with Palestine.
Local resident [Name] is taking part in Run The Wall on the 25th, 26th and 27th of April 2025 as an act of solidarity with Palestine, to demand freedom of movement for Palestinians, and to demand their government implement international law and stop arming Israel.
Participants will run, walk, ride, or even swim 5-55 km, wherever they are in the world over the same weekend.
Human rights organisation Amos Trust started Run The Wall in 2021 with their Palestinian friends at Right To Movement when Covid-19 caused the Palestine Marathon in Bethlehem to be cancelled. Run The Wall has now become an annual event worldwide.
Each Spring, Amos Trust invites people worldwide to run for Palestine on the same weekend as 10,000 people participate in the Palestine Marathon. Furthermore, many of the thousands participating in over 30 countries will help raise funds for Amos Trust’s emergency appeal for Gaza and the West Bank.
[Optional participant quote]
“I am taking part in Run The Wall because...” [Background reasons for participating or involvement with Israel/Palestine over the years].

Sanitation in Rafah Gaza Strip
940 People. 1 Toilet. That was the situation in the camps in Rafah (at the southern tip of Gaza) among the 1.1 million people sheltering there before Israel invaded on 6th May. Since then, 1 million people have been forced out of this so-called safe area, with 900,000 of them moving to central Gaza onto an even thinner strip of land along the coast, with virtually no facilities.

The Ongoing Food Crisis Gaza Strip
Thanks to your generosity, we’re delivering food aid in Gaza. Since Israel imposed a food embargo on Gaza after the 7th October attack, we have been doing all we can to make sure that people sheltering from the Israeli attacks have been able to have food and water. This is now even more important as the Rafah crossing has been closed to aid supplies for 6 weeks and starvation and food insecurity levels across Gaza continue to rise. Find out more.

Therapeutic Support Gaza Strip
Our partner, NECC/DSPR Gaza, began providing post-traumatic psychotherapeutic support following the 2008 Gaza conflict to children (and their mothers) and young people involved in their youth training programme. Initially considered a temporary programme, they soon realised that in Gaza, trauma is an ongoing condition, leading to the continuous provision of their psychosocial support programmes since then.

We Remember 7th October 2023
In the future, the ‘7th October’ will hold a place of particular significance. For Israel, it will be remembered because of the loss of 1,200 lives, the brutality of the Hamas attack and the fate of 251 hostages. For Palestinians, and those who have watched the events of the last year unfold, it will be remembered for the destruction and hatred unleashed on Gaza that has left 40,000 dead, 10,000 missing, 100,000 injured, 2 million displaced and so much destruction.
