Mountmellick's Helen Lawlor says it's more than just a political issue for the people taking part.
A Laois woman who says she's campaigning against genocide is part of an Irish delegation taking part in a march to the Rafah Crossing.
Mountmellick's Helen Lawlor is joining three thousand other activists from across the world in the Global March from Cairo to the crossing.
The peaceful protest is to allow for aid to be brought through, despite the threat of intervention from the Israeli government or deportation.
Ms Lawlor says the matter is more than political:
