Irish actor Aisling Kearns has asked for people to donate to a fund in aid of a camp in Gaza to mark her 30th birthday.
So far, almost €6,000 has been raised for Al-Jawad Camp, which helps to educate displaced children in Gaza.
'As I turn 30 today I feel pretty useless regarding the distressing scenes in Gaza so I've decided to create a GoFundMe in aid of Al-Jawad-Camp which is based in Gaza City,' she shared on her fundraising page.

'This is a group of women who are, in the midst of literal hell, trying to give displaced children in Gaza an education.
'You can check out their Instagram page which shares regular updates. Make sure you follow them too,' she added.
'So please, if you have EVER smiled or laughed from my page and sketches and want to wish me a happy 30th birthday, DONATE!
'Please don't forget to share this page too! The more eyes on it, the better and more likely we will raise a substantial amount.
She signed off with 'Thank you! X #FreePalestine.'
It comes as the death toll, according to the Government Media Office in Gaza, has surpassed 61,700.
Kearns gained more than 90,000 followers on Instagram thanks to her comedy sketch videos.
She is also signed to the same agency as Amy Huberman, Kin star Claire Dunne, and comedian Kevin McGahern.
Aisling played the lead role in 'Asking For It' a play based on a Louise O'Neill novel of the same name.
Her other credits include Fair City, Sherlock and Daughter, and The Spin.
