LEFT MP Richard Burgon led a delegation to Downing Street today to hand in a letter signed by more than 800 child health professionals demanding that the Prime Minister ends Britain’s complicity in Israel’s war crimes.

In the letter, paediatricians, doctors and academics called on Keir Starmer to end all arms export licences to Israel and impose immediate sanctions until it complies with international law.

It said: “We continue to hear first-hand accounts, from British healthcare professionals, of the war crimes being committed by the Israeli Defence Forces, and the catastrophic health crisis affecting both the physical and mental health of children and their families.”

“We urge you, as Prime Minister, to use your
influence to advocate for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.”
