ISRAEL'S war on Gaza has helped increase the demand for white poppies as Remembrance Day approaches on November 11, peace campaigners said today.
The Peace Pledge Union (PPU), which distributes the poppies, said more schools, universities and other educational organisations were placing orders following increased interest from students and teachers, “as more of their students recognise the importance of remembering all victims of war, including civilians and those affected by conflict today,” the group said in a statement.
Orders have increased by 30 per cent compared to the same period last year.
