I rise to present a petition urging the Government to call on Israel and Hamas to implement an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, and for the immediate release of all hostages.
Over the past four months, Gaza has been subject to unrelenting bombardment which, following almost two decades of siege, has created a humanitarian crisis. Almost 100,000 Palestinians have been killed and injured by the Israeli military, and millions more have been displaced and are subject to severe shortages of food, medicine, water and aid—with no end in sight.
