Hunger should never be used as a weapon of war. Demand action today.

Right now, conflict is forcing millions into starvation.

Conflict is driving extreme hunger to record levels, and famine is threatening millions of lives.

In Sudan, markets have been targeted, livestock destroyed, and health services have collapsed. Famine has already been detected in ten areas, and 17 more are at risk. Acute malnutrition is rising rapidly.

In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), over a quarter of the population – 27.3 million people – are going hungry. Violence has forced families to flee their homes, cutting them off from food and aid. Harvests have failed and food prices are soaring.

In Gaza and the West Bank, conflict has devastated crops, water systems, and health services. The worst-case scenario of famine is already playing out.

The entire population of Gaza is at risk of severe food shortages, while over half a million people are enduring famine. Children’s bodies are suffering irreversible damage. The aid that is allowed in is only a fraction of what’s needed. People face an impossible choice: starve, or risk being shot while trying desperately to reach food for their families.

When food is destroyed, farms are burned, people are uprooted from their homes, and humanitarian aid is blocked, people starve. This is not inevitable. It’s a political choice. The deliberate use of starvation as a weapon of war is illegal, but those responsible face no consequences. The UK must call out every violation and demand accountability – with no exceptions.

Tell Prime Minister Keir Starmer that starvation must never be used as a weapon of war.

The UK was once a global leader in the fight to end hunger, and it can be again. That’s why we’re calling on the government to:

Champion International Humanitarian Law – prohibiting the use of starvation as a weapon of war – and hold perpetrators accountable
Break the cycle of conflict and hunger by providing long-term humanitarian funding that helps communities recover, strengthen resilience, and prevent future crises

We’ve got two quick questions for you – here’s the first one:

What made you decide to add your name today?

That’s really helpful to know, thanks. Next question:

Do you believe that if we all work together, we can make sure that every child has enough to eat?

<first name> – Thanks so much for signing.

The biggest killer in war isn't bullets or bombs: it's hunger.

From Gaza to Sudan, conflict is destroying crops, blocking aid, and leaving families with nothing to eat. Parents who’ve lost everything are now watching their children starve.

We’re delivering emergency food to those caught in conflict—but we need your help to reach more people before it’s too late.

Just £20 could provide 20 hot meals for a refugee fleeing conflict.

Will you give now? It only takes 2 minutes.

Yes, I'll donate today No, sorry

Before you go <first name> - will you share this petition to reach even more people?

Right now, families in Gaza are counting on us to make enough noise to get our Government to finally listen. Sending this to friends and family can make all the difference.

Will you share the petition now - it really only takes 30 seconds:

Thanks so much, <first name>
