No To Genocide Campaign Launched
Human Aid & Advocacy Launch Nationwide Billboard Campaign addressing the Israeli starvation of Gaza
In response to the Israeli occupation’s war on Gaza which has killed over 31,000 Palestinians, Human Aid & Advocacy announce the launch of their campaign, “No to Genocide”. This campaign will showcase 98 billboards across major cities in the UK; London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leicester, Bradford Blackburn, Derby, Sheffield, Rochdale, Luton, Batley, Bury, Derby, Wakefield! The billboard will include a QR code directing people to take action by demanding the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, Kemi Badenoch, and the Foreign Secretary, David Cameron, take real measures to end UK’s complicity and involvement in the genocide.
“We call on the local and global community to take action against the war crimes and genocide taking place in Gaza. We have a responsibility to demand the UK Government stops its complicity in genocide and take decisive action to prevent further killings and mass destruction.” ~ Nur Choudhury, Chair of Human Aid & Advocacy
Since the occupation implemented their blockade on Gaza, creating severe restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid through the Rafah border, at least 23 children have died of hunger as a result. The UN's most senior human rights official, Volker Türk, stated that "Israel bore significant blame", and that there was a "plausible" case that “Israel was using starvation as a weapon of war in Gaza".
We call on community leaders, our donors, and the general public to take part in this campaign by:
- Publicising the ad on their social media platforms using the #NoToGenocide.
- Scan the QR code and send a letter to the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, Kemi Badenoch, and the Foreign Secretary, David Cameron demanding they end their complicity and involvement in the genocide of Gaza. We also demand the Secretary of State boycott all trade deals with Israel following their violations of international law.
