'It is vital that the UK stands up for human rights and medical neutrality during this crucial period if, for no other reason, than it is the right thing to do.' Philip Banfield 💙 & Dr Latifa have written to Govt requesting urgent support to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Another important seminar organised by Cambridge Health Workers for Palestine on #health in #Gaza . I highly recommend attending.

Since the fragile truce in #Gaza collapsed on December 1, aerial and ground attacks by Israeli forces have resulted in hundreds of people killed and injured.

Hospitals can't treat patients if they are full. The indiscriminate violence must end.

Below is a statement signed by Politics and International Relations staff at the University of Westminster on the situation in #Palestine .

A majority of academic staff signed this.

The brutal collective punishment in #Gaza must end. For 2 months, we have seen the Israeli forces' indiscriminate attacks on Gaza target Palestinian civilians and healthcare.

We continue to call for an immediate and sustained ceasefire. It all #MustStopNow .

Today, World Health Organization (WHO) received notification from the Israel Defense Forces that we should remove our supplies from our medical warehouse in southern Gaza within 24 hours, as ground operations will put it beyond use.

We appeal to #Israel to withdraw the order, and take every possible…

We are calling on Israeli Forces to revoke their evacuation orders immediately.

We urge all parties to protect civilians & vital infrastructure from harm.

We need a sustained ceasefire now.

Civilians are being ordered to move south, but nowhere in Gaza is safe due to the indiscriminate bombing & continued fighting.

Home Alone might've had a very different ending if it was shot more recently.
