Our climate is in meltdown. And the poorest are paying the price.
This is breathtaking injustice.
And a terrible betrayal of younger generations.

I condemn Israel’s actions which killed scores of innocent civilians who were only seeking shelter from this deadly conflict.
There is no safe place in Gaza.
This horror must stop.

We cannot say it louder: hospitals MUST be protected, not attacked nor militarised. Ceasefire!
