The UK must immediately recognise Palestinian statehood. There can be no two state solution if there is no viable state left to call Palestine.
1 in 10 children in Gaza (under 5 years old) have been screened and found to be malnourished. Their lives are at imminent risk. Over 1,000+ cases of acute malnutrition were reported in June, and the situation has become even more urgent in July.
Listen up: It's time to stop whispering about suicide. We are losing too many to silence. Help us shout about saving lives today, on #SamaritansAwarenessDay. Let’s prevent suicide today. Because tomorrow’s too late.

Thank you, Health Secretary @wesstreeting, for reaching out today and for your support for @WHO colleagues in #Gaza and our lifesaving work. We need Member States’ help to ensure we can access health facilities and deliver health aid.
Over the weekend in Gaza, we saw yet more mass shootings & killings of people seeking @UN aid – an atrocious & inhumane act which I utterly condemn. We need an immediate ceasefire, the immediate release of all hostages & unimpeded humanitarian access.
