LOCAL families took to a renowned mountain in Abergavenny, to spread what they believe is an important message ahead of the general election.
The Families for a Ceasefire group, based in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, took to The Blorenge mountain on Saturday, June 1, to create a visual mural with the distinctive flags of Palestine.
A spokesperson for the Families for a Ceasefire group, said: "Our hope is to send a message of solidarity to Palestine, from Wales."
17 members of the Families for a Ceasefire group, both adults and children, headed to The Blorenge.
When asked why, the spokesperson said: "It feels like an important moment with the upcoming general election, the recent ICJ ruling and Israel’s invasion of Rafah.
"We want to show our support, call for a UK arms embargo and reiterate the need for an immediate ceasefire."
The families spelled out "AM BYTH" on The Blorenge, which translates to "long live" or "forever" in Welsh.
