You can help safeguard the 'Handala' and its crew as they sail to Gaza - NOW. World governments have failed to uphold international law. They have failed Palestinians. They have let humanity down. Call them to account. We need people of the world to tag their foreign ministry accounts. Demand they offer protection and safe passage to their citizens aboard 'Handala' doing what Governments should be doing - delivering humanitarian aid and breaking Israel's illegal siege of Gaza.

Our findings show that while many patients speak positively about the treatment they receive at specialist centres, too many face unacceptable delays in diagnosis, unequal access to specialist care, and a lack of research investment.

Every person aboard the Madleen is a hero.

The genocidal Israeli state's attack on unarmed activists aboard a UK-flagged vessel delivering aid to Gaza is a flagrant breach of international law.

The UK must sanction Israel, end all arms & surveillance, & expel its ambassador.
