We write as a group of UK-based organisations and individuals working on health rights. We demand that the UK Government push for an immediate ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza conflict and uphold its diplomatic responsibility to ensure sufficient access to health and humanitarian assistance for all people in Gaza. We echo the demands as previously stated by the World Health Organisation (WHO), Oxfam and Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) and countless other humanitarian groups.
