Our Caabu statement quoted in the Guardian on the flooding in Gaza.

We call on theUK government to demand Israel allows aid in Gaza, sanction those responsible for denial of access, and reverse restrictions on humanitarian aid organisations.

As #Gaza now endures flooding as well as disease, violence & starvation - why are we not taking stronger action to compel #Israel to uphold its duties as the occupier? Surely that’s the least we should be demanding?! @Caabu @Doylech https://t.co/qA6MeMDiHY

[Alex Crawford @AlexCrawfordSky]

The UK Govt has been given suggestions on how NOT to just stand by… with several ways to ensure suffering in Gaza is eased. @Caabu urged @Ed_Miliband and the UK Govt to ensure that ‘Israel permits free and proper humanitarian access into Gaza. This includes using powers to sanction those who block life-saving humanitarian aid’.

[The New Arab @The_NewArab]

The Council for Arab-British Understanding (Caabu) called on the UK government to take immediate action to ensure unrestricted humanitarian access, in a letter on 9 November, warning that nearly one million displaced Palestinians face serious flooding risks because of Israeli restrictions on essential supplies.

In a statement shared with The New Arab, Caabu described the crisis as "one of the direst humanitarian consequences of man-made and political devastation and failure".

Britain-Palestine APPG warns banks and financial institutions about involvement  in major Israeli E1 settlement project - that would divide the West Bank and forcibly displace Palestinian communities.

[Caabu @Caabu]

What we need to see now is the full implementation of the 8 September measures with the UK ensuring it does nothing to aid and abet that unlawful occupation. This means more than ending settlement trade. There must be no economic ties to the occupation.

[Caabu @Caabu]

A year ago today the UK recognised the state of Palestine. It was historic. It was symbolic. The tragedy is that the UK & other states did not build on this. Official statements often did not refer to Palestine. But it has improved under the Burnham gov. https://t.co/xVoD9RF3Jo

[Caabu @Caabu]

Palestine remains under an unlawful Israeli occupation. The UK should state that this must end. As of 8 September it has accepted the ICJ advisory opinion that stipulated Israel's presence was unlawful.
