🔺Almost 1.9 million people- over 80% of the population - have been displaced across the 📍#GazaStrip since the war began. 🔺117 incidents occurred at 85 UNRWA premises since the war began - 30 installations hit directly & 55 sustained collateral damage. unrwa.org/newsroom/emerg…

This is always a sad piece of news. Where ever there are landmines, ieds and uxo we need the brave people like Akbarov to keep the civilians safe.

We at REVIVE are appalled at the level of brutality of the Israeli regime in Gaza. We have been calling on the UK government to take a stronger tone with Netnyahu and now is definitely the time to ban UK arms sales to Israel.
