Situation in Gaza worse than at any point in last 40 years

The video above was shown at Sunday's Islamic Relief dinner in Glasgow. The emergency event for Gaza was called at short notice in light of recent events, but still managed to raise £85,000. Well done to all involved. Today, leading charities came together and said that the humanitarian situation is worse than it has been for 40 years.

Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon spoke at Sunday's event, noting that while Israel says it was going after terrorists, children aren't terrorists. She also condemned the hypocrisy of the US and British governments in claiming to support democracy, but bringing about this current crisis by their rejection of the Palestinian election results.

Amongst all this, the Israeli ambassador is in Scotland this week. On Sunday, he'll be attending the annual fundraiser for the Jewish National Fund, which appropriates land that Arabs are denied access to. Everyone is being urged to protest outside the Hilton at 5pm.
