“MPs should support the resumption of funding to UNRWA and insist on unfettered humanitarian access to ensure that aid reaches all areas of Gaza without hindrance.”
By Labour Outlook
With a rapidly deteriorating humanitarian crisis in Gaza caused by Israel’s unrelenting military assault and blockade, 29 NGOs have today demanded that the UK Government take action to prevent more death, destruction and degradation in Gaza.
You can read the statement and see the full list of supporting organisations published below.
The UK Government must do more to prevent more death, destruction and degradation in Gaza.
If we want to save lives, tackle starvation and disease, as well as provide the best opportunity for all the hostages to be released, MPs should support an immediate and permanent ceasefire.
If we want to see aid provided at scale for all those in Gaza who need it, MPs should support the resumption of funding to UNRWA and insist on unfettered humanitarian access to ensure that aid reaches all areas of Gaza without hindrance.
If we want to ensure that the body of law established after the Second World War to protect us all is respected, MPs should support the suspension of UK arms sales to those suspected of breaking it, including the Government of Israel.
