Hungry children in Gaza hold out containers waiting for food.

John,

A year has now passed since the onslaught on Gaza began.

More than 41,000 Palestinians, including more than 16,750 children, have been killed since the start of this war. Now civilians, especially children, in Lebanon are also paying the price.

There is NO defense to keep fueling Israel’s killing machine. Yet the UK government, one of the worst enablers of this war, is still selling weapons to Israel.

But there’s hope: A monumental case to stop the UK’s weapons sales to Israel is heading to the High Court – THIS MONTH – and the brilliant team of lawyers, campaigners and activists making it happen need a surge of cash for this final push.

The next few days are critical, John. Can you donate to help?

There are so many injured children left to face this hell on earth alone that a grim new term has been coined: wounded child, no surviving family.

Doctors are “speechless” by what they are witnessing. The list of atrocities is endless. UN experts have urgently called for a halt on arms exports to Israel given the undeniable risk that they are being used against civilians. And the US has even found the Israeli army responsible for gross human rights violations.

Yet, the UK government hasn’t stopped shamelessly arming Israel. But we can change that.

This case is winnable – and a rare chance right now to create true, meaningful change.It’s going to the High Court of Justice in October – THIS MONTH – every second counts!

Can you donate to help end this genocide?

I'll donate $3I'll donate $4 I'll donate $5I'll donate $9I'll donate another amount

Thanks for all that you do,
Miriam and the Ekō team
