CAMPAIGNERS have described as shameful a London hospital’s decision to remove a display designed by children in Gaza following pressure from a pro-Israel group. 

Bosses at Chelsea & Westminster Hospital took down the “festival of plates” display after it received a letter from UK Lawyers for Israel suggesting possible legal action, and that some patients had complained about feeling vulnerable and victimised by the artwork. 

The art had been designed by children at two schools in Gaza and transferred onto plates by children at the Chelsea Community Hospital School.
