We're outraged and heartbroken by reports that at least 15 Palestinians, including eight children, have been killed in an Israeli strike. They were queuing for nutritional supplements outside of a clinic.
Nowhere is safe in Gaza. Project Hope, an aid group who ran the clinic, say it was "a place of refuge... where people bring their small children, women access pregnancy and postpartum care, people receive treatment for malnutrition".
The UK government must stop being complicit in these horrors by suspending all arms transfers to Israel. They must hold the Government of Israel accountable for the harm children have faced, as is demanded by their obligations under international law.
Gaza is not a war zone - it is a graveyard for humanity's conscience.
Palestinian children are suffering day after day as the Israeli bombardment and siege continues.
These children have names, they have hopes and dreams for the future.
They are someone's everything, their entire universe.
We refuse to allow their suffering to become normalised.
"This is long overdue for the children and families of Gaza who have endured more than a year of bombardment and deprivation, and for the hostages in Gaza and their families in Israel who have suffered so much."

Schools bombed
Homes destroyed
Families torn apart
More children than ever are estimated to be either living in conflict zones or forcibly displaced due to conflict and violence, facing a daily struggle for survival.
We must #ProtectChildrenInConflict.
“It is unacceptable that we are seeing more and more children caught in the crossfire. This cannot be the new normal.” - Liam Neeson, UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador.
No more excuses.
Join us in calling on world leaders to #ProtectChildrenInConflict.
We are horrified that children continue to be killed every day in Gaza.
At least 19 people, including children, have been killed by an Israeli airstrike on a school-turned-shelter in north Gaza.
Each child killed was someone’s everything, with hopes and dreams for the future. They deserved their future.
We are continuing to urge the UK government to use their power and influence to secure an immediate, definitive ceasefire, and suspend all arms sales to the Government of Israel.
As young people across the UK are getting their #GCSEresults, schools in Gaza are being bombed.
100% of children in Gaza are unable to go to school.
Education is a fundamental right for every child and that right does not end in times of emergency.
We're completely horrified to see newborn twins are the latest victims of Israeli airstrikes in Gaza while their father Mohammed Abu al-Qumsan registered their birth.
Asser and Ayssel were just four days old. No parent should ever go through this agony.

Our Headteacher, Mr Heath, was proud to represent us at the prestigious #REND conference last night. Lots of great speakers with great ideas we can utlilise at MV. Thanks to the organisers - a superb event. @jwheath_heath @ChilternTSH@TeachLeadAAli@lehain@unleashing_me
@PutteridgeHSch had a wonderful time at #REND yesterday. Great speakers and networking with diverse leaders discussing change in education.
This work MUST carry on in schools and classrooms across the country for racial equity. Let's make it happen! @ChilternTSH@unleashing_me
Israeli weapons packed with small pieces of shrapnel are causing devastating injuries to children in Gaza.
They need action. Not words.
The UK Government must immediately suspend arms to the Government of Israel and demand an immediate and definitive #CeasefireNOW.
