The International Wall, a lengthy mural dedicated to showcasing noteworthy occasions or challenges, is located on Divis Street in the Lower Falls neighbourhood of west Belfast.

Despite the fact that it frequently features a variety of images from across the globe, because of the continuing fighting in the area, artwork by Gazan artists presently predominates.

It had been planned for some time for local and Palestinian artists to collaborate on a collaborative artwork on the wall, but last autumn's current flare-up with Israel intervened.

It was formally unveiled in the afternoon on Sunday.

As they replicated the artworks, volunteers flocked to assist mural artist Danny Devenny, who said they were inundated with requests.

“We contacted a woman we knew in Gaza to locate Gazan artists since that's where it's taking place. She sent us these pictures back in less than a day, and we couldn't stop ourselves they had to be on the wall,” he added.

The number of volunteers who volunteered their time freely was acknowledged by Mr. Devenny, who also said, “Everyone is in shock, everyone wants to do something, and we benefited from that in this project.”

“I have to single out one in particular; it was painted by Anne Loughran, a 70-year-old woman from west Belfast who had never painted before,” he said.

“We enjoyed displaying our unity by hanging these items on the wall.”

“Seeing so many people stand in solidarity just goes to show how shocked people are by what's been going on and how much they want to change the world.”
