Tens of thousands are fleeing to reach safety. This never-ending violence and death won’t stop until we cut off Israel’s access to weapons – can you rush an urgent donation to help make it happen? [I'll donate $3]( donate $4]( [I'll donate $5]( donate $9]( donate another amount]( --------------------------------------------------------------- [Hungry children in Gaza hold out containers waiting for food.]( {NAME}, Over 40,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s onslaught on Gaza. There are now so many injured children left to face this hell on earth alone that a grim new term has been coined: wounded child, no surviving family. The UK government is one of the worst enablers of this nightmare – since 2015 it has sent over *half a billion* pounds worth of weapons to Israel. We’re closer than ever to stopping it! Our partners are going to be in court in a matter of weeks to halt the UK’s deadly arms sales and they’re working round the clock preparing an airtight case showing these weapons are being illegally used against civilians. But they have a major funding gap. We’re not held back by any red tape – if enough of us chip in, we can rush them the cash they need for this crucial work. The next few weeks are critical. Can you donate to finally end this slaughter? [I'll donate $3]( donate $4]( [I'll donate $5]( donate $9]( donate another amount]( Doctors are “speechless” by the horrors they’re witnessing – children having their legs amputated without anesthetic, babies dying of dehydration within days of being born. The list of atrocities is endless. UN experts have urgently called for a halt on arms exports to Israel given the undeniable risk that they are being used against civilians. And the US has even found the Israeli army responsible for gross human rights violations. There is NO defense to keep fueling Israel’s killing machine. Yet, the UK is doing everything it can to keep shamelessly arming Israel. But a brilliant group of lawyers are taking their groundbreaking case to stop the UK’s flow of arms to the High Court in October. And they have a real chance of winning! If all of us chip in, we can rush them the funds they need to collect extensive evidence from Gaza and build an ironclad case. {NAME}, if we can get the UK to halt arms sales to Israel, it could help spell the end of this catastrophe. Any amount will make a difference – can you chip in?
