WAR ON GAZA - GAZA APPEAL

UMMAH WELFARE TRUST LAUNCHES £1MILLION APPEAL. HELP THE PEOPLE OF GAZA TODAY!


Even though the Gaza strip has been under months of blockade and lacking access to the most basic food and fuel supplies, the people of Gaza have come under attack yet again.

Over 500 Palestinians have been killed and thousands injured after the Israeli air force launched dozens of air raids on the Gaza Strip.

At least 30 missiles were fired by F-16 fighter bombers. The first round of air strikes came just before noon, followed by several more waves of missiles, killing dozens and leaving many buried under the rubble. About 60 warplanes took part in the first wave of air strikes.

They were the heaviest Israeli attacks on Gaza for decades. More air raids were launched as night fell.

Residents spoke of children heading to and from school at the time of the attacks.

Please donate today and help the Palestinians again in their time of need. UWT have launched a £1m appeal.
