A pro-Palestinian Swedish activist started a 4,800-kilometer (about 3,000 miles) trek to Palestine to raise awareness of the ongoing Israeli occupation on 5 August.
Benjamin Ladra started his journey ten days ago from the Swedish city of Gothenburg and will walk through Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Turkey and Cyprus before finally crossing into Palestine. He will be making the entire journey with a Palestinian flag on his back.
