Britain's complicity in the Gaza genocide must be stopped
LOUISE REGAN urges a step up in the level of protest against Israel's terror war on Gaza and the West bank
TODAY is the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian people and it is needed now more than ever. Our solidarity did not begin in October 2023 nor will it end once the war on Gaza is over, however, given the ongoing genocide it is essential that we step up our actions now.
Over 44,000 Palestinians have now been killed in Israel’s war on Gaza, over two thirds of them women and children. In March, the UN reported that more children had been killed in Gaza in four months than in four years of war worldwide. Thousands more have been killed since.
Ten children a day face an amputation with no anaesthetic and over 3,000 children have had at least one limb amputated.
