Irish singer Maura O'Connell is set to release a cover of the anti-war song 'From a Distance' in support of Doctors Without Borders. The song, originally written by Julie Gold in 1987 and recorded by Nanci Griffith in 1988, aims to bring comfort to those affected by conflict and war in places like Gaza, Ukraine, and Sudan. O'Connell was inspired to record the song after a conversation with her friend Fiona Prine about the distressing images of war. The cover will be available on streaming services worldwide on December 8th. O'Connell emphasizes the importance of Doctors Without Borders' work in providing care and healing to war victims. The release of the song is accompanied by a press release calling for peace and a negotiated agreement in Gaza.
