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. Civilians are already experiencing unimaginable suffering, which is increasing exponentially by the day.

Some of the updates we’ve been hearing from our colleagues in Gaza, such as Najla, bring home how horrific the situation is. Our MPs need to hear those voices, and speak out as our representatives in Parliament.

“It’s getting much worse. We have no information. We’re cut off. We’re in total darkness.” Our colleague Najla describes the unimaginable horror unfolding in #Gaza. An immediate ceasefire is needed.

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 to you from a place of common humanity with all those impacted at this time.

We are seeing a humanitarian catastrophe and ordinary Israelis and Palestinians are paying the price for this brutal conflict. Please listen to people directly in these short voice messages from Oxfam staff members in Gaza, which give an insight into the impact of the conflict.

- Najla Shawa speaking of the conditions her and her family are facing: https://x.com/oxfamgb/status/1715364954470007052?s=20 
- Wassem Mushtaha speaking on how pleased he was to finally find some water for his family: https://twitter.com/oxfamgb/status/1721530679685530013

2.2 million people live in Gaza. Half of the population are children. The blockade and bombings mean families have very little clean water for drinking and bathing. Electricity and food are scarce. The hospitals that remain functioning are full and there are not enough medical supplies left to treat the injured. Despite some aid getting through, it is not nearly enough.

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 and ensure enough food and other essential supplies can be delivered safely is through a permanent ceasefire.

I do not want my government to stand by when we could help. As your constituent, I would welcome if you could please write to the Prime Minister and ask him to:

•	Call for an immediate and lasting ceasefire so that no more lives are lost and so enough aid can be delivered to those that need it, safely and consistently.  
•	Help to ensure enough humanitarian aid aid is allowed into Gaza, and push for Israel to lift the total blockade allowing water, electricity, fuel and other essentials to urgently reach civilians in need. 
•	Impress in the strongest terms that all sides need to uphold international humanitarian law. This includes the unconditional release of all the hostages.

I hope to one day see a future lasting peace and justice for all Israelis and Palestinians. Unfortunately, the escalation of violence shows that, we and other nations, have failed to help tackle the root causes of situation. I hope that the UK will work with others to stop this cycle of violence now and for the future, for everyone.

Thank you in advance.

Your constituent,
