Jamie-Lee O'Donnell, known for her role as Michelle Mallon in the hit comedy series Derry Girls, will participate in a fundraiser for the victims of the war in Gaza, according to irishnews.com. The event, an in-conversation with Palestinian photojournalist Motaz Azaiza, will take place on August 22nd at the Guildhall in Derry, Northern Ireland.
Azaiza has gained international recognition for his photojournalism documenting the horrors of the Gaza war since its outbreak last year. He has been named "Man of the Year" by GQ Middle East and listed as one of Time Magazine's most influential people of 2024.
The event, organized by the Derry branch of the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign, sold out within hours of its announcement. All proceeds will go towards funding a food drop in Gaza and supporting Azaiza's Irish tour.
O'Donnell expressed her honor at being part of the "historic event" on Instagram, urging her followers to support the cause. The event will also be live-streamed for those who were unable to secure tickets.
The fundraiser highlights the ongoing solidarity efforts for the people of Gaza and the power of art and activism in raising awareness and providing much-needed aid.
