Israel’s war in Gaza has created 37m tonnes of debris, much of it laced with unexploded bombs, which could take more than a decade to remove, a top UN demining official said theguardian.com/world/2024/apr…

We spent weeks documenting airstrikes in southern Gaza and found that civilians were killed in areas the Israeli government had explicitly designated as safe zones. Our exclusive report👇

Great to meet again with my friend @AntonioGuterres in New York.

The Labour Party is committed to restoring future funding for UNRWA and we support calls for an independent investigation and public report into the deaths of humanitarian workers during the war in Gaza.

🚨 Where are 1.4 million people in #Rafah supposed to go if Israeli authorities invade? After months of delays, displacing people to nearby tents is not the solution. It is not safe.

We demand a permanent #CeasefireNOW .

Absolutely heartwrenching news to hear that Baby Sabreen has died.

She is one of 16 children killed in a single airstrike in Gaza, and has now died alongside her older sister and both parents.

This indiscriminate killing is barbaric.

Premature Palestinian baby girl rescued from her dead mother’s womb dies in Gaza after 5 days in an incubator apnews.com/article/gaza-i…

There is a #famine in #NorthernGaza and children are dying as a result. By law, #Israel not only has an obligation to ensure humanitarian aid gets in but that it gets to where its needed.

This is shocking.

We need an independent investigation.

We need an immediate ceasefire.

As an MP #Gaza has generated more policy correspondence than anything else. I met constituents who came in to lobby me yesterday UK Parliament on it and promised I would ask for UK govt to resume UNWRA funding in wake of UN Colonna report as others have
Today I did:

People in #Gaza are stalked by hunger, disease & death.

In #Rafah , trash is building up between the make-shift shelters where 1.5 million displaced people are surviving.

Risk of diseases spreading is high; there have been alarming rates of Diarrhoea & outbreaks of Hepatitis A.

I was pleased to attend the important lobby day for Palestine in Westminster Hall today.

We need:
👉Immediate & permanent ceasefire
👉Release of all hostages
👉Urgent aid and restoration of funding to UNRWA
👉UK government compliance with licensing criteria of arms sales

These horrifically cruel videos of the hostages like 23-year old Hersh Goldberg-Polin must end.

Hamas must release them now. We need an immediate ceasefire from all sides.

The reports of mass graves at hospitals in Gaza are deeply disturbing. There must be an urgent and independent investigation.

1/. I’m extremely disappointed that Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office & Department for Business and Trade ministers did not attend our Business and Trade Committee hearings on arms exports today - despite 20 days notice

We have therefore agreed fresh hearings for ministers & civil society groups to add to the legal evidence taken this…
