IMMINENT THREAT TO RAFAH - PLEASE TAKE ACTION
On 6 May 2024 the Israeli military issued evacuation orders to tens of thousands of people sheltering in parts of Rafah. This included the clinic run by our partner NECC which has been treating around 500 people per day. We are deeply concerned about the welfare of our partners and the communities that they serve. We have released a statement, which you can read in full here.
We call on you to write to your local MP to demand that the UK government does everything they can to stop the attack on Rafah and continues to push for an immediate increase of humanitarian aid. You can download a letter template using the button below.
