What the petition asks
We believe it is imperative the UK Government acknowledges the rights of all Palestinian people and seeks to implement an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Their suffering must end; they deserve basic human rights. Palestinians should live without fear and make decisions about their future.
Infrastructure, including hospitals and homes are being destroyed and civilians are dying. Children are scared, families displaced, and there are reports of attacks on medical personnel. There are also concerns about potential violations of humanitarian law.
