Palestinians in Gaza are being exterminated right now.
The time for threats of "further action" has long passed.
We cannot stress this enough: without a full suspension of arms to Israel and urgent, meaningful accountability, the UK remains complicit in Israel's atrocities.
The suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths.
Alongside 25 other partners, the UK message is clear: the war in Gaza must end now.
We need an immediate ceasefire, release of all hostages and a full resumption of aid.

"The problem now is, even if they are physically safe from bombing, there is no water, no food.
If people don't have clean water they will die very quickly, so the situation couldn't be more urgent."

We are gravely worried about the hundreds of healthcare workers and patients trapped inside Shifa Hospital amid the Israeli military’s ongoing siege.
We demand their protection and continue to work with partners to evacuate the patients, including two critically ill children.
Last night, we sent an urgent letter to the Military Advocate General and Israel's Attorney General regarding over 240 sick and injured patients trapped in al-Shifa #Hospital in #Gaza – without access to food, medication, or treatment since Monday.

🚨URGENT UPDATE: This morning, Israeli forces stormed Kamal Adwan hospital. This latest violation comes after weeks of attacks, and amid apparent ethnic cleansing of North Gaza.

Words of concern do nothing to end Israel's genocide and systematic dismantling of the healthcare system in Gaza.
By failing to suspend all arms transfers to Israel and take meaningful action to hold perpetrators accountable, the UK Government is an ally to Israel's atrocities.
Horrified by Israel’s attack on Nasser hospital. Civilians, healthcare workers and journalists must be protected. We need an immediate ceasefire.
