The UK Government must end its complicity in these horrors by immediately suspending all arms transfers to Israel. They must hold the Government of Israel accountable for the harm children have faced, as is demanded by their obligations under international law.

Israel has crossed red line after red line against the people of #Gaza. And now, an entire population is facing erasure. In our masses, let's build our own red line and demand our government takes action now. Start by tapping SHARE

🔊Listen to @oxfamgb.bsky.social CEO @halimabegum.bsky.social on @lbc.co.uk

More than 52,000 people have been killed. By continuing to sell some arms to Israel, the UK is complicit in the killing of civilians in Gaza. The UK government must stop licensing all arms sales to the Government of Israel.

Wonderful to see this now launch - great news for UK tea drinkers, but it will matter so much to tea farmers themselves: #tea production is still too often scandalously exploitative.

This is a powerful challenge to other companies to follow suit.
