UK gov are being very slow to implement medical evacuations for Palestinian children in Gaza.

Delays cost children’s lives

@IntChildHealth @MSF_UK @TheBMA and others are speaking up to advocate for faster & unimpeded action

Please share widely

[MSF UK @MSF_uk]

🔴Today, @TheBMA, @IntChildHealth, MSF and others have written to the Government impressing the need to urgently act on Gaza medical evacuations plan, avoiding any further delays.

Every minute of inaction increases the risk of a child selected for treatment in the UK dying. 1/3

“In MSF’s nearly 54 years of operations, rarely have we seen such levels of systematic violence against unarmed civilians.”

The GHF-run food distributions in Gaza, Palestine, have become sites of “orchestrated killing and dehumanisation”, not humanitarian aid.

Too many children have died & suffered in Gaza. This has to stop.

We have a duty to speak up and demand the UK government does more.

@IssopOrg @WeAreSfGH @IPAWorldorg

[International Child Health Group @IntChildHealth]

Today alongside other leading health organisations, we’ve written to the UK Foreign Secretary to urge the UK Government to take action to help protect children and healthcare workers in Gaza.

You don't need to be a prophet.

Images like this - of starved Palestinians hammed into fenced cages by Israel - will be remembered for generations as hideous evidence of a terrible crime.

And history will remember not just those who cheered it on, but those who stayed silent.
