UK charity calls for end to arms trade with Israel in new billboard campaign

A British charity has launched a nationwide billboard campaign calling on the UK government to end its arms sales and trade agreements with Israel if it continues its bombardment of Gaza.

Human Aid and Advocacy, which works worldwide, launched its "No to Genocide" campaign on Thursday in dozens of locations across the country. 

Using quotes from Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant declaring a "complete siege on Gaza" and pictures of starvation unfolding in the Palestinian enclave, the charity said it aims to mobilise communities to stand up for Palestine. 

Nur Chowdhury, who founded Human Aid in 2010, said the group had been organising the campaign for nearly a month but faced delays due to some advertising agencies cancelling at the last minute.
