In a major diplomatic rift, Spain has officially severed ties with Israel, implementing an arms embargo, travel and trade bans, and restrictions on Israeli goods.

Out of 6,600 aid trucks, only 986 got through. Some of the aid was destroyed, and some went to those to whom it was promised 3,000 years ago.

Israel has destroyed the "ceasefire" in hours.
It is murdering Palestinians, and maintaining its illegal siege.
Not a ceasefire.

IF THIS IS NOT HOSTAGE TAKING, WHAT IS? Israel refuses to release Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya who insisted on staying with his patients in his bombed hospital even after his own son was murdered. Since then he has been held in one of Israel's torture facilities.

Please accept my apologies for the delay in responding to your email. I am pleased to be able to confirm that the new Labour government is committed to strengthening our public health response and reducing health inequalities. Labour's recent commitments and statements have made clear that the principle of universal and fair access to vaccines particularly for those who are medically at-risk must be central to our national strategy. In Parliament, Labour MPs have called for a rapid review of JCVI eligibility criteria and for the reinstatement of free Covid-19 vaccination for all Clinically Vulnerable people, in line with the existing approach to NHS flu vaccinations. Many have highlighted, as you do, that the logic and evidence for including all at-risk groups in annual booster rollouts are overwhelming, given the ongoing pandemic context and emergence of new variants. Our party's manifesto commits to taking advice from clinicians and scientists and to working closely with NHS England to ensure that support for the most vulnerable is not withdrawn on cost grounds especially when this may lead to greater suffering and increased NHS pressure. There is widespread concern across Parliament about the risk of deepening health inequality and placing the cost burden of essential preventative care onto those least able to shoulder it. Thank you again for taking the time to share your concerns so powerfully. Best wishes, Dr Beccy Cooper MP Member of Parliament for Worth Parliamentary Office: House of C Telephone: 01903 496390 betw Clinically Vulnerableย Families [LOGO]
