Tell Keir Starmer: hunger should never be used as a weapon of war

Millions are being starved in warzones, but Prime Minister Keir Starmer can help stop it.

Across Gaza, Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, families are being deliberately cut off from food, water, and medicine.

In Sudan, markets have been bombed, livestock destroyed, and hospitals forced to close. Famine has already taken hold in two areas, with millions more people at risk.

In the DRC, over 27 million people are going hungry as conflict and displacement cut families off from aid and food supplies.

In Gaza and the West Bank, every single person is facing severe food shortages, and over half a million are already living in famine conditions. Children are suffering irreversible harm from hunger and malnutrition.

When food is destroyed, aid is blocked, and people are starved, it’s not just a tragedy — it’s a war crime.

We’re calling on Prime Minister Keir Starmer to show real leadership. The UK must:

  • Call out every violation of international law, including where starvation is used as a weapon.
  • Hold perpetrators accountable, wherever these crimes occur.
  • Invest in long-term humanitarian funding that breaks the cycle of conflict and hunger.

The UK once led the global fight against hunger. Keir Starmer can make sure it leads again, but only if we demand it. Will you add your name now to help show thousands of people want action?

<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>
