Killing children. Starvation as a weapon of war. Targeting aid workers. These are all RED LINES. Many more have been crossed by Israel.

As the UK gvmt breaks for summer, we demand it takes action to end its complicity in these atrocities in #Gaza bit.ly/RedLine__Mosaic

We are receiving desperate messages of starvation from #Gaza, including from our colleagues.

Food prices have increased 40 fold.

UNRWA has enough food for the entire population for over three months, stockpiled just outside Gaza.

Lift the siege and let aid in safely and at scale.

Patients being treated in corridors is widespread, but it must not be normalised.

If you're having to deliver care in inappropriate settings, raising a concern with your employer will help protect you and your patients.

ICE is trying to deport Native American people to Mexico. This one from the Mescalero Apache Tribe.

That's right. People indigenous to the United States, tribal members. ICE is trying to remove them from the US.
