History The group began when Móglaí Bap was out spray-painting with a friend the day before the Irish Language Act march in Belfast.

Suicide
Suicide is the act of intentionally causing one's own death. Mental disorders (including depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, personality disorders, anxiety disorders), physical disorders (such as chronic fatigue syndrome), and substance abuse (including alcoholism and the use of and withdrawal from benzodiazepines) are risk factors.

According to the UNRWA, the camp had a population of approximately 5,498 refugees at the end of 2014.
