TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT UNRWA

On 28 October 2024, the Israeli government passed a Bill banning the Palestinian refugee agency, UNRWA from operating in Israel and occupied Palestine.

 This will effectively paralyse UNRWA’s ability to provide life-saving humanitarian aid and other essential services at a time of immense need. Please urge your government to speak up now!

DONATE TO THE DEC EMERGENCY APPEAL

The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) launched an urgent appeal to respond to the humanitarian crises in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon.

Israel’s escalating military campaign across the region has left millions of people displaced from their homes and in urgent need of food, shelter, and medical aid.

Dear [elected representative / faith leader],

I am writing as your constituent / congregant to ask you to take urgent action to help end the occupation of Palestine and bring about a just peace for all Palestinians and Israelis. I recently read the eyewitness account in the link below which describes the everyday situation facing Palestinians living under military occupation. I believe we all have a duty to speak up when we learn about violations of human rights. I hope that you will use your position to speak up too.

[You could add here some of your own comments or explain the story briefly and what particularly moved you about it].

[include here a link to the story]

I ask that you write to the Minister for Foreign Affairs / head of the faith denomination raising my concerns and asking what proactive action they will take to help bring about a just peace.

Yours sincerely,
