Over 800 UK legal professionals, including former Supreme Court justices, have called on the British government to impose sanctions on Israel, citing evidence of potential genocide and serious breaches of international law in Gaza.

AOAV has grave concern over the reported killing of fifteen Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers by Israeli forces on 23 March in Rafah City’s Tel al-Sultan district, in southern Gaza. The victims, including workers from the Palestinian Red Crescent (PRCS), civil defence teams, and at least one UN employee, were allegedly shot and buried in a mass grave while attempting to rescue earlier casualties.

An Israeli airstrike on a camp for displaced Palestinians in Rafah resulted in at least 45 fatalities, including women and children, highlighting the devastating human cost of the ongoing conflict.
