assemble 1pm
Temple tube
— rally in
Trafalgar Square The Israeli government’s brutal siege and blockade of Gaza has created a humanitarian catastrophe worsening every day. The killing of Palestinians, and the destruction of Gaza, are escalating as are threats of a full scale invasion from Israeli ministers.
In Gaza :
• 1562 patients need to leave the Gaza Strip for urgent medical treatment.
• 90 patients have died due to Israel ’s refusal to allow them medical treatment.
According to the latest UN report:
• 107 Palestinians, including 27 children, were killed by the Israeli army between 27 February and 2 March.
• Essential services, including water and sanitation, are close to breakdown because of the combined lack of electricity, fuel, and spare parts.
• 85 essential drug items, have run out. There are severe shortages of other essential medical supplies.
• 30% of the population are without regular water supplies.
For the right of return of refugees
In 1948 over 750,000 Palestinians were driven from their homes and their lands, in an act that the Palestinians call the Nakba or ‘catastrophe’. The Israeli state legitimised the theft of their lands, houses, property and businesses offering no compensation and has continued to refuse the right of the refugees to return. Sixty years later, in 2008, Palestinian refugees, now numbering around eight million, are still denied the right to return to their homes and land – a right enshrined in UN resolution 194. The majority of Palestinian refugees still live in refugee camps in the West Bank , Gaza Strip or in neighbouring countries.
End Israeli occupation
Israel’s brutal assault on Gaza exposes the lie that Israel ’s occupation of Gaza ever ended. Israel continually flouts UN resolutions to end occupation, end settlements and end the apartheid wall but acts with impunity because of the complicity of governments like the British government.
