Palestinians in Gaza are being exterminated right now. The time for threats of "further action" has long passed. We cannot stress this enough: without a full suspension of arms to Israel and urgent, meaningful accountability, the UK remains complicit in Israel's atrocities.

People in Gaza are starving to death. UNICEF is warning that deadly malnutrition among children is reaching catastrophic levels. Humanitarian aid at scale is urgently needed. Safe, unrestricted access into Gaza must be granted to save lives.

Over the weekend in Gaza, we saw yet more mass shootings & killings of people seeking United Nations aid – an atrocious & inhumane act which I utterly condemn. We need an immediate ceasefire, the immediate release of all hostages & unimpeded humanitarian access.

Just when it seems there are no words left to describe the living hell in Gaza, a new one has been added: “famine”. This is not a mystery — it is a man-made disaster, a moral indictment and a failure of humanity itself. Famine is not only about food; it is the deliberate

The #Gaza famine, a man-made catastrophe, has unfolded in front of the world’s eyes. We saw it coming. We warned about it. We were not allowed to stop it. Now, as we count the lives lost to this intentional starvation, there is only one question to ask world leaders: Where is
