Horrific attacks on Gaza by the Israeli Government have killed tens of thousands of Palestinians during this crisis.
The UK Government must continue to push for a permanent ceasefire, unrestricted humanitarian access, and a path to accountability, justice and lasting peace.
Donate to Gaza-Lebanon appeal
Over 2 million Palestinians are in desperate need of basic, life-saving resources.
Despite huge obstacles, our colleagues and partners are working relentlessly in their communities. They are distributing food, clean water and sanitation, hygiene kits, providing trauma counselling and so much more.
Call for the UK to stop arming Israel

The UK Government is still allowing most arms sales to Israel, despite the clear risk that they are being used to commit war crimes.
There is an ongoing risk of further violations of international law. The Government must still immediately suspend ALL remaining arms licences – including those for parts of the deadly F-35 fighter jets.
Display a ceasefire poster
Show solidarity and campaign for peace where you live.
Help keep the pressure on by displaying posters in your community. You can stick them on your windows or ask friends, neighbours, community spaces or local businesses to display them.
Support Palestinian farmers

Zaytoun is an award-winning social enterprise. Their mission is supporting the livelihood of Palestinian farmers through fair trade.
Buy goods from local producers, including extra virgin olive oil, Jericho’s finest Medjoul dates, or handmade Nablus soap.
Each product carries a message, the story of the people of Palestine, their love for their lands and the rich heritage they carry.
