Join the Red Line for Gaza

Now is the time to act together
Tens of thousands of civilians - including thousands of children - killed. Food, water and aid repeatedly used as weapons of war. Huge swathes of Gaza decimated and unliveable. Hospitals and schools destroyed. These are all red lines.
It urgently needs every single one of us who’ve been horrified by these events to speak up and demand action from our government. Let’s create a red line we cannot allow them to cross.
Add your name to the Red Line for Gaza and say: ENOUGH.
What are the red lines?
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.
Targeting 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.
Killing 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 and mown down with tanks by Israeli forces. People have been penned in, in dangerous and degrading conditions, just to try to get something to eat.
And many more red lines continue to be crossed by the Israeli government and military.
How is the UK government involved?
The UK government continues to allow the sale of some arms to Israel, including parts for deadly fighter jets that are used to drop bombs on Palestinian civilians.
The UK also produces components for Israeli drones, provides intelligence from spy flights over Gaza, and trains Israeli military personnel in Britain.
The UK government must take action now and end their complicity in Israel's crimes.
They must use all tools at their disposal to push for a permanent ceasefire, unrestricted humanitarian access, and a path to justice, accountability and peace.
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.
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 care about this issue and put more pressure on decision makers.
The louder we raise our collective voice, the harder we are to ignore.
