More about this issue

Millions of people have joined together in condemnation of the attacks, violence and targeting of Palestinian and Israeli civilians. Attacks that deliberately target civilians are never justifiable. Palestinians in Gaza are experiencing unimaginable suffering, and the humanitarian system is now on the brink of collapse. An immediate and permanent ceasefire is the only action that now matters.

Some of the updates we’ve been hearing from our colleagues in Gaza, such as Wassem, bring home how horrific the situation is.

MPs need to hear these voices, and speak out as our representatives in Parliament.

🔴 "We wish to [wake] up and forget this dramatic and horrible dream." Wassem has been sending us voice notes from #Gaza since the conflict escalated, describing the unimaginable horror of life for his family in the midst of the crisis.

Dear {contact_data~firstName} {contact_data~lastName} MP,

I know you will be hearing from many other constituents with deep concerns and personal links to the grave situation in Israel and Gaza. I write with particular concern for the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza and to request that you show your support for an immediate and permanent ceasefire.

Gaza is now the deadliest place on earth for civilians. Over 2 million people are at imminent risk of famine. Over three quarters of the population are internally displaced, many of them forcibly displaced multiple times. The hospitals that remain functioning are full and there are not enough medical supplies left to treat the injured. Under continual blockade and bombardment, nowhere is now safe in Gaza.

Please listen to people directly in these short messages from Oxfam staff members in Gaza, which give an insight into the impact of the conflict.

Despite some aid getting through, it is not nearly enough. Humanitarian organisations have given repeated warnings that an operation to meet the vast needs of people is now impossible. The UN Secretary General has warned that the humanitarian system is collapsing.

The tragedies of casualties in schools, hospitals and homes shows there is no way to wage war in Gaza without endangering thousands of civilian lives. The only way to help save lives, ensure enough food and other essential supplies can be delivered safely, and to safely release the hostages, is through an immediate and permanent ceasefire.

I do not want my government to stand by when we could help – the time for meaningful action is now. As your constituent, I would welcome if you could please raise this issue in parliament at every opportunity, and please write to the Prime Minister and ask him to:

- Call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire so that no more lives are lost, enough aid can be delivered to those that need it, and so the hostages can safely be released. 
- Push for Israel to lift the total blockade of Gaza allowing water, electricity, fuel and other essentials to urgently reach civilians in need.  
- Respect the ruling of the International Court of Justice, including by immediately stopping arms sales to the Government of Israel given the risk of them being used in violations of international law.

I hope to one day see a lasting and just peace for all Israelis and Palestinians. Unfortunately, this latest, most horrific, escalation of violence will not achieve peace and security for anyone. The UK and other nations have failed to help tackle the root causes of this decades-long crisis and unless the international community addresses these this cycle of violence will only continue.

I hope that the UK will work with others to stop this cycle of violence now and for the future, for everyone. History will judge us all if we do not act now.

Thank you in advance.

Your constituent,
