Yesterday in Rafah, #Gaza, one of our doctors recounted via voice message the harrowing experience her family lived through as airstrikes and bombs dropped around them at 5am. Today, she sent us the below series of text messages describing the situation.

EVERYONE: write to your country’s UN Ambassador and demand that they invoke UNGA resolution 377A to get around the US Veto and call for a permanent ceasefire. You can find a template letter here cryptpad.fr/pad/#/2/pad/vi… then post and tag your country’s ambassador online.

On human rights day, we ask you to do something useful for the humans in Gaza !!! @USAmbUN @VNebenzya @bwoodward_un @Ndereviere @AzALWASIL @Brazil_UN_NY @EgyptPRNewYork #invoke377a #377a #Resolution377A

The UN Security Council just voted on an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. The vote came after 17,000+ Palestinians, including 7,000+ children, have been killed. The USA vetoed the resolution & the UK was the only abstention. Utterly shameful complicity in a massacre of a people.

🚨 We urgently reiterate our call for an immediate enduring ceasefire by all parties to the conflict. A ceasefire is the best way to ensure all civilians are protected across Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories and to alleviate mass humanitarian suffering in Gaza.

Spot on, Olivia Colman. Not only are fossil fuel giants getting away with committing countless climate crimes - we're lining their pockets while they do so, through our own pension pots. Time to invest our pensions in a liveable future. #FrackingHell

Striking deals to expand fossil fuel projects is in contradiction to the goals of COP and the Paris Agreement. It is the role of the COP presidency to act as a custodian for climate ambition, not to exploit commercial fossil fuel interests. bbc.co.uk/news/science-e… (1/4)

This year, at COP28, we want to see the right rules that can be turned into real-world actions. Our policy document lays out exactly what we want to see from Parties and how we can use the power of the law to respond to the climate crises. brnw.ch/21wENxq

We're heading towards nearly 3C of catastrophic temperature rises. In just 1 year, Sunak has greenlit a new coal mine, the biggest undeveloped oil field in North Sea, & 100+ new oil & gas licences. His Govt is adding fuel to the flames of this emergency. Me on #politicslive 👇

We wouldn’t let tobacco firms fund MPs working in health policy - so why is Govt allowing fossil fuel giants to fund MPs who need to act decisively on tackling #climateemergency? I've signed the No Fossil Funding Pledge - we need a #FossilFreeParliament👇 actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-yo…

Forests cover 1/3 of the Earth and are vital to our climate and future. Here is how UNEP is working towards healthy, sustainably managed forests worldwide.

Just leaving this here

Yet one more reason to protect forests, #ForPeopleForPlanet.

Ceasefire now.

We denounce the death warrant of civilians trapped in Al-Shifa hospital signed by the Israeli military. There needs to be an urgent and unconditional ceasefire from all warring parties; humanitarian aid must be supplied in #Gaza now ⤵️ msf.org/gaza-patients-…
