Red Line for Gaza
Day after day we have watched the horrors in Gaza unfold on our screens as red line after red line is crossed by the Israeli government. Let’s demand our government takes action to stop this – while we still have a chance.
Now is the moment to act
We – the people of the UK – must speak out. In our masses, right now. Let’s build our own red line that is impossible for our government to ignore.

We watch horrors unfold in Gaza as red line after red line is crossed by the Israeli government. Yet the UK government continues to support it. Add your name to say: ENOUGH

Call on your MP to use their voice in Parliament and demand real action for Gaza. The more who speak up, the more pressure we can build on the government.

Show solidarity and campaign for peace where you live. Help keep the pressure on by displaying posters in your community.

Pick up a free postcard in your local Oxfam shop and write a message of solidarity with Gaza. We'll take it directly to the government for you.

What is the Red Line for Gaza campaign?
Red Line for Gaza is a campaign inspired by symbolic ‘red line’ protests around the world.
The UK campaign is coordinated by Oxfam GB, War Child UK and many others – it’s about using our collective voices to call for an end to the UK government’s complicity.
What are the Red Lines?
A red line is a limit that should never be crossed. In the case of the Red Line for Gaza campaign, it means breaches of international law.
Starving people is a red line
The Israeli government is starving civilians in Gaza. They’re using starvation as a weapon of war by blocking the delivery of food and aid, including for women and children. Everyone in Gaza is at risk of famine.
Killing civilians is a red line
The Israeli military has been killing men, women and children seeking safety. They have attacked schools, hospitals, and refugee camps leaving people to perish in burning buildings.
Killing children is a red line
No child is responsible for the violence we’re seeing right now. Yet children have been killed by Israeli shootings and indiscriminate bombing in Gaza. We have all seen the horrific injuries young children have sustained.
Targeting aid workers is a red line
Humanitarian workers have been blocked from delivering life-saving aid to people in Gaza. They have also been killed in deadly attacks on marked humanitarian vehicles. It’s not only a violation of international humanitarian law, it's a violation on people simply trying to help.
Killing the hungry is a red line
People desperately trying to collect bags of flour have been shot by Israeli forces and shelled by Israeli tanks and drones. People have been penned in, in dangerous and degrading conditions, just to try to get something to eat.
Which organisations are involved?
ActionAid UK, All We Can, CAFOD, Choose Love, Christian Aid, Doctors of the World (Médecins du Monde UK), Islamic Relief UK, Greenpeace, Humanity and Inclusion, Mothers’ Manifesto, Na'amod, Oxfam, Quakers in Britain, War Child UK, Women for Women International, and more.
Why are we saying the UK government is complicit?
The UK government is complicit in enabling the Israeli government’s crimes – by its continued military, economic and diplomatic support. Strong words, without meaningful action, are not enough.
The government continues to allow arms sales to Israel, including parts for deadly fighter jets that are used to drop bombs on Palestinian civilians. Additionally, it continues to trade with Israel preferentially as if nothing is wrong. This complicity must stop.
What should the UK government be doing?
What’s needed now is not more words, but real action. The UK government should be using its influence, through every diplomatic and political lever available, to press for change with real consequences for the Israeli government.
That must include an immediate halt to all arms sales, urgent pressure for a permanent ceasefire, and unconditional, safe humanitarian access so aid can reach people in desperate need. They must also continue to push for the hostages to be safely released, as well as illegally detained Palestinian civilians held in Israel.
What does it mean to act in solidarity with Palestinians?
This means joining together and recognising our common humanity. We all deserve to have access to our basic human rights.
Our collective wellbeing and humanity lies in our ability to support each other, speak out against the injustices we see, and work towards a fairer world for us all.
Our hope is for all Palestinians and Israelis to live in freedom, with full and equal civil and political rights.
How can I get involved?
By joining the Red Line for Gaza, we will be in touch with ways you can support the campaign and take action in your community.
We will also be able to demonstrate how many people from all across the UK care about this issue, and put more pressure on decision makers to take action.
The louder we raise our collective voice, the harder we are to ignore.
