Israel has killed over 60,000 people across the Gaza Strip, the majority women and children. It has issued forced evacuation orders displacing over 1.5 million Palestinians who have no place they can go.
Israel’s 22-month long genocide in Gaza continues. Israel is causing starvation and death by a blockade on the entry of food, fuel and medical supplies for the last four months. Currently, only a tiny proportion of the aid required is permitted. Over 1000 Palestinians have been killed while queuing for the sparse food that is allowed into Gaza. Medical personnel and journalists are targeted and killed. Hospitals are bombed and destroyed. This is a genocide.
Yet the UK government refuses to take any meaningful action. We call for a full arms embargo on Israel, a stop to the bombing and killing in Gaza and the West Bank, and the implementation of a permanent ceasefire. We call for the end of the occupation of Palestine and for a just and lasting peace.
Stand with Palestine. Please join us for the Vigil to show that Palestine and the Palestinians are not, and will not, be forgotten.
