URGENT: Stop the invasion of Rafah! Ceasefire now!

On 7 May the Israeli military issued relocation orders to people sheltering in parts of Rafah, the first step towards a full-scale invasion that will most likely kill thousands of Palestinians. Since then, Israel has been intensely bombing Rafah, including civilian homes and areas marked as safe. On 8 May, Israeli tanks entered the Rafah border crossing.

There are no safe spaces in Gaza. Israel has repeatedly attacked so-called ‘safe zones’, killing displaced people. Any claims from Israel that civilians can be safely relocated have no credibility.

Please urge your MP to take urgent action to stop any further attacks on Rafah by the Israeli military, which will severely worsen the already catastrophic humanitarian situation. Please also share as widely as you can. THIS IS URGENT.
