UK charity calls for end to arms trade with Israel

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, the Middle East Eye reported. 

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

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