A month after he started his #WalkToPalestine campaign, Swedish activist Benjamin Ladraa is in good spirits having met a number of people of his way.
He has swapped carrying his backpack and is now using a pram to take his possessions with him, but his spirits are high and he’s still on course to complete the 4,800 kilometre trek to Palestine to raise awareness of the ongoing Israeli occupation.
Ladraa chose to make the journey to mark the 100-year anniversary since the signing of the Balfour Declaration which provided international legitimacy for the Zionist project which led to the subsequent creation of the State of Israel and the displacement of nearly 1,000,000 Palestinians in 1948.
