Together with my friend and colleague Marsha De Cordova, Labour MP for Battersea, I attended the Viva Palestina Supper Club to raise funds for the Medical Aid for Palestinians charity. The food and company were both excellent and all proceeds raised went towards a very worthy cause. If you are able to donate, please do visit the Medical Aid for Palestinians website here.
Many people in Gaza were already living in appalling conditions before this latest conflict. If the Israeli bombardment continues and aid doesn't get through, I really fear for the consequences. Today, I appeared on Peston to reiterate calls for an immediate ceasefire in Israel and Gaza. Every effort needs to be made to work towards a peaceful solution. See my clip here:
 I arrived back home safely from Ukraine yesterday. I went on a humanitarian mission with MedGlobalOrg, who are helping support hospitals to prepare for the darkest days of this conflict.
We worked with the most amazing people and met patients with the most heart-breaking stories. I was honoured to be able to help Ukrainian victims in the midst of the heart breaking turmoil they are experiencing. Let’s do all that we can to help support Ukraine.  Such an incredible honour to have volunteered with the Care4Calais team in Calais and Dunkirk. Their compassion and work ethic is second to none and they do so much to help and support those who have lost everything, in the most difficult of circumstances.
Care4Calais is a refugee crisis charity that helps with delivering essential aid and support, such as food and medical supplies, to refugees living in the UK, France, and Belgium. So glad that I could be a part of this experience to help with the crisis in Calais. |
