Doctors and medical staff who served in Gaza demand end of UK arms sales to Israel
Thirty UK-based doctors and medical staff who served in the Gaza Strip have written a letter to Prime Minister Keir Starmer demanding a ban on arms sales to Israel.
"It is difficult for many of us to recount the scenes we witnessed in Gaza, not least of all in the knowledge that many of the injuries we treated may have resulted from the use of weapons systems and components supplied from Britain," the letter reads.
The letter, quoted by the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians, says that according to British law, international humanitarian law, and Britain’s own strategic export licencing criteria, ending arms sales to Israel "is the morally as well as legally right thing to do".
