International Centre of Justice for Palestinians presses Rishi Sunak to meet over Gaza

In a heartfelt letter addressed to Britian’s Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) accuses Israel of breaching humanitarian laws by destroying civilian infrastructure and causing the deaths of over 11,000 Palestinians in their bombing campaign of Gaza, and criticises the UK government for its inadequate response to the humanitarian crisis.

They are seeking an urgent meeting with the prime minister to address enforcing an immediate ceasefire in the besieged Strip, restore basic services and vital aid and protect medical facilities in Gaza. They also are requesting the inclusion of Gazan families in the UK Resettlement Scheme, highlighting their plight as British citizens impacted by the conflict.

ICPJ represents the UK's Palestinian community. They say they are agonised by the dire conditions their families are facing in Gaza. Detailing the humanitarian crisis, including limited access to essentials and disrupted communications, the ICJP shares distressing data about the high casualty rates, including children, and mass displacement in Gaza.
