None of this devastation, this suffering, pain, misery and humiliation being inflicted upon the Palestinians of Gaza can surely be consistent with the provisions of the Geneva Conventions??

This is the President of the International Committee of the Red Cross speaking from Gaza today.
What more needs to be said?
We need key international actors, governments to ACT NOW.
There needs to be a political solution.

My message from Gaza today:

3/ No, we cannot fix grandma and grandpa. But my next thought was that there is something we can fix. And as naive as this might sound, we can fix the world.
We must.
It is our duty.

At today’s Full Council meeting:
“On behalf of the people of Manchester, we hope and pray that there will be peace in the Middle East.” - Councillor Rabnawaz Akbar Jill Lovecy & Ahmed Ali

Please note: new constituency boundaries now in place in Manchester. Rusholme (along with Fallowfield & Whalley Range from previous M Gorton) is now joined by Ardwick, Hulme & Moss Side (from M Central) to form new Manchester Rusholme constituency, with sitting MP Afzal Khan **

A big thank you to all who came out to support the peace vigil for Palestine and Israel. So many people of different races, ages and beliefs came out to support peace and support the victims of the current conflict.

🗣️The Mayor, Deputy Mayor and 10 Leaders of Greater Manchester have joined the international calls for a ceasefire by all sides in Gaza.

Great video from Ahmed Ali in Urdu dealing with the myths around the Covid vaccine and why it’s important for the BAME communities to take the vaccine. If you are over 70 and have not been vaccinated contact your GP or 119.

We take the knee in memory of #georgefloyd and promise to fight for all victims of anti black racism. #BlackLivesMatter

My colleague Azra Ali has been so helpful in the development of my knowledge around drugs and alcohol abuse and I welcome this EDM.
