We believe it is imperative the UK Government acknowledges the rights of all Palestinian people and seeks to implement an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Their suffering must end; they deserve basic human rights. Palestinians should live without fear and be allowed to make decisions about their future.

Infrastructure, including hospitals and homes are continuing to be destroyed on a huge scale, and people in Gaza are facing starvation. Medical supplies to treat injuries and disease are also running out. Children are scared, families displaced, and there are numerous reports of attacks on medical personnel. There are also concerns about many potential violations of humanitarian law.
