Israel preventing rescue workers from saving children buried in rubble

Arafat family’s mother Hala already died trapped, whole family of small children now in deadly danger

A whole family of small children are trapped under the rubble of their shelter in Gaza after Israel bombed it last night – and the occupation is preventing rescuers from reaching them.

A family member managed to reach the Arafat children’s mother Hala as she lay under the rubble as she asked for news about her family. Tragically she died, trapped there:

Many others were killed outright, like these four young children, killed when their tent was bombed:

Contact your MPs urgently and demand that they tell the government to demand in turn that Israel allows rescuers to reach the victims still trapped – before Starmer and co’s hands are stained with yet more innocent blood.
