Responding to the Gaza ceasefire debate in the House of Commons [21/02/24], Christian Aid’s Head of UK Advocacy and Campaigns, Jennifer Larbie, said:
“What we witnessed in the House of Commons last night was complete chaos. Every minute spent pontificating on points of order, Palestinians were being killed.
“Our colleague Nour, a lawyer with our partner organisation, was killed in an air strike in Rafah on Tuesday along with seven members of her family including her two-year-old daughter.
“History will judge us all for what we did in the face of the slaughter and brutality in Gaza.
“Ultimately the suffering won’t end until we have an immediate and permanent ceasefire.”
