For 16 days Israel has blocked all aid from entering Gaza. Ten days ago it cut off all electricity.

Widespread Israeli airstrikes on Gaza over the last 36 hours have now killed over 400 Palestinians, including at least 80 children. The number is continuing to rise.

These violations of international law must stop. The violence must stop.

The UK government must stop supporting it.

End all arms sales to Israel now.
