The text of the letter begins:
"Dear Prime Minister Keir Starmer,We urge you to take immediate action to end the UK’s complicity in the horrors in Gaza.
Right now, children in Gaza are starving while food and medicine sit just minutes away, blocked at the border. Words won’t feed Palestinian children – we need action."
