Dear Ms. Yvette Cooper, what is disgraceful is Israel's genocide against Palestinians in Gaza for the last 20 months; what is disgraceful is the UK's continued support of the genocide including through weapons transfers; what is disgraceful is starvation as a weapon of war;

#Gaza: Since 27 May, Israeli army reportedly killed over 410 Palestinians who were trying to get food. Killing and wounding of civilians resulting from the unlawful use of firearms constitute a grave breach of international law & a war crime.

I am so proud of our team - this report is urgent, gut-wrenching, and damning. The starvation of children is never an accident, and it is entirely preventable. Please read & share this report and demand the immediate end to Israel's siege and genocide.

We must stop this genocide, whose short-term goal is completing the ethnic cleansing of Palestine, while also profiteering from the killing machine devised to perform it. No one is safe until everyone is safe.
