Gaza will not be forgotten!

End the siege of Gaza

We  want to appeal to all concerned, whether it be official bodies in the
International community, those in Israel and/or those within the Palestinian
community to work together to prevent the crimes being committed against the
civilians in Gaza because it is our responsibility to take a stand against this
oppression.

We would particularly like to raise awareness about the effect the fuel
shortage is having on everyday life. The civilians left without fuel are left
without the basic rights stated in Article 25 of Universal declaration of Human
Rights: "Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health
and well-being of himself and of his family, including medical care". These
standards have been removed because without fuel there is no source of heating,
ability to cook or clean water supply. In addition some of the hospitals have
been forced to limit their energy usage to only essential life-saving
equipment, and heating cannot be one of these priorities even in this
particularly harsh winter. 

We, Palestinians and Internationals together, invite u to join us in solidarity
with those in Gaza suffering from the sanctions Israel have imposed upon them.
We are here to protest against the collective punishment from which the people
of Gaza are suffering. Collective punishment is illegal according to
international law.

We will not stay silent in front of blatant injustice.
Please join us, bring a candle in front of the Nativity Church, at 6pm, Tuesday
22 January and spread the word,
