Tell Keir: Protect the lives of civilians in Gaza
Over 67,000 people have been killed in Gaza since October 2023, including 18,000 children. These aren’t just statistics. They represent lives, families, and futures shattered.
We’ve been clear from day one: hunger must never be used as a weapon of war. But our warnings have been ignored, and famine is spreading in Gaza at an alarming rate. Since October 2023, our teams have reported a 700% increase in cases of child malnutrition.
Gaza urgently needs a surge in aid. We must act now.
We’re calling on Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the UK Government to do everything in their power to prevent any further loss of life. The ceasefire must be upheld — and humanitarian organisations must be allowed to do our jobs.
This means:
- An immediate and permanent ceasefire, laying the groundwork for lasting peace
- Safe, unimpeded humanitarian access for essential food, healthcare, water, fuel, sanitation, and shelter supplies
- Protection of civilians and humanitarian workers
- An immediate end to military incursions in the West Bank
At Action Against Hunger, we’ll do whatever it takes to get food and supplies to Palestinian families in urgent need. But humanitarian action alone cannot end this crisis. Political leadership is essential, and we need the UK Government to act now to end the bombardment, starvation, and displacement.
