With political leaders across all Parties, and 76% of the British public now joining the call, our Government must act now. (Statistic source)
More than 7,028 innocent lives have been lost, 2,913 children among them, along with journalists and first responders. Schools, hospitals, and homes have been destroyed. Currently there is no end in sight to the killing of civilians.
Zara Mohammed, Secretary General said, “It is our moral duty to stand for peace and lead in the pursuit of justice and freedom for Palestine and an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. We must redouble our efforts for a political solution. Our Government must now take a lead to establish a ceasefire and lasting peace.”
