What the petition asks
The UK needs to demand Israel open a humanitarian corridor to Gaza immediately. Two million people are suffering for something that most of them had no part in. It has been reported that thousands have already died.
It is everyone’s right to live in safety. Imagine being a doctor in Gaza right now, running out of medical supplies and electricity. We don’t even know how many have been killed in their homes because there isn’t even capacity to pull people out of the rubble. Around half of the people in Gaza are children, and around 70% are refugees.
The Fourth Geneva Convention demands of Britain and Israel, as signatories, to protect the lives of those under occupation or in a war zone. We believe inaction by the UK Government in this regard would not be consistent with these obligations.
