LONDON

A UK-based charity on Friday called on the British government to "end its complicity" and halt all arms transfers to Tel Aviv, as Gaza enters its third month under a total siege imposed by Israel.

Save the Children issued a statement on X urging the UK government to "end its complicity" and suspend all arms transfers to Israel "urgently," calling for the accountability of all perpetrators and the end of "Israel's impunity."

Israel has closed Gaza's crossings since March 2, blocking essential supplies from entering the enclave despite multiple reports of famine in the war-devastated territory.

"Two months of no food. No water. No fuel. And the UK government is still complicit. The UK Government must not be an ally to atrocities," it added.

Concerning the blockade of humanitarian aid to Gaza amid ongoing Israeli killings, the charity stated that denying aid is a violation of international law.

"Instead of much needed food, clothing or tents to help children survive, airstrikes continue," Save the Children wrote on X.

"The halt on aid must be immediately reversed and humanitarian assistance must be allowed to enter Gaza," the statement stressed, adding that words of concern are "meaningless without action."

The Israeli army renewed its assault on Gaza on March 18, shattering a Jan. 19 ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement with the Palestinian resistance group, Hamas.

More than 52,400 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza in a brutal Israeli onslaught since October 2023, most of them women and children.​​​​​​​

Israel faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its actions in Gaza.
