We have joined together with @decappeal to launch an urgent appeal for the Middle East.
Conflict is devastating lives across Gaza, Lebanon and the wider region. People are in urgent need of clean water, food and shelter.

Today I asked the Prime Minister if he will finally do what’s legally and morally right and end the government’s complicity in Israeli war crimes by banning ALL arms sales —including F-35 fighter jets — to Israel.
He said “no”.
For the past year, millions of us around the world have made repeated, desperate calls for a ceasefire. We demanded an end to the genocide. We warned of a disastrous regional conflict.
We were ignored.
Governments have fuelled the machinery of war. Their indifference to human life has destroyed prospects for peace and endangered us all.
All of this violence was entirely avoidable. Without urgent de-escalation, more unimaginable horror is on the horizon.
It’s time to listen to the voices of ordinary people across the globe calling for peace.
That means ending the root cause of this appalling cycle of violence: the occupation of Palestine.
The language of whitewashing:
🇮🇱: Invades Lebanon
Media: Israel sends troops
🇮🇱: Bombs civilians
Media: Blasts heard, people say
🇮🇱: Destroys Rafah
Media: A limited operation
🇮🇱: Blocks aid
Media: Hunger stalks Gaza
🇮🇱: Flattens apartment buildings
Media: A targeted strike
