  6. Gaza: situation deteriorates further

    Situation in Gaza goes from bad to worse. No end in sight. 51,000 dead

    April 2025

    This Easter weekend, Christians celebrate the resurrection and it is a national holiday. People take the opportunity to relax over the weekend. Not far from where the events being celebrated, the situation in Gaza goes from bad to worse. Around 51,000 are now dead the great majority of whom are women and children. The ceasefire has ended and since then, 1,650 have been killed in bombing by the IDF. Food, fuel and humanitarian aid has been cut off and water supplies are precarious.

    In addition to the destruction of vast swathes of the territory, Israel has now annexed a further 10% by creating 1 km wide ‘buffer zones’ around it. Reuters reports that around 20% of the land has been seized by Israeli forces. Within these zones, properties have been demolished. No one is allowed into these zones without risk of death. Armoured bulldozers have systematically levelled one home after another. Combat engineers have laid explosives and triggered controlled demolitions inside once bustling factories. IDF forces have torn up and denied Palestinians any access to the fertile farmland that once sustained lives and livelihoods. The map shows the huge extent of these zones:

    ‘witnessing forced destruction and displacement

    Within Gaza itself, the situation goes from bad to worse. A spokesperson for Médecins sans Frontières said we are “witnessing in real time the destruction and forced displacement of the entire population of Gaza.” There appears to be no likelihood of peace talks taking place.

    Undoubtedly, Netanyahu feels emboldened in his actions following the statement by President Trump that Palestinians should be removed from Gaza and the area developed as a ‘Riviera of the Middle East’ effectively amounting to ethnic cleansing. He was the first foreign leader to visit the White House following Trump’s election for the second time.

    A positive sign is the reporting of events in Gaza in a more robust fashion by UK media. Efforts at balance has meant unsupported claims by Israel sources were treated as fact. Destruction of hospitals and other facilities were because they were ‘Hamas control centres’ with seldom any evidence that they were (indeed, has there been any evidence that they were?). An internet search reveals almost no substantive evidence to support the claims. Israel has refused access to foreign journalists meaning claims could not be verified on either side. Even words lost their meaning. Hamas seized 250 ‘hostages’ on October 7th which is true. In exchanges, it is reported that ‘hostages’ were exchanged for ‘prisoners’ from Israeli gaols. Since many of the ‘prisoners’ had never been charged let alone tried, had been held without access to lawyers and in locations unknown to the Red Crescent or their families, how is that different from being a hostage?

    The UK government has at last begun to toughen its language and David Lammy, the Foreign Secretary, has recently said Israel’s decision to block aid is ‘unacceptable, hugely alarming and very worrying’. It also suggests the county is breaking international law, the first time it has acknowledged this.

    Vigil

    On Easter Saturday, the 72nd vigil was held in Salisbury with over 30 attending. Two American visitors to the City from California spent time with us.

  12. We support every woman's right to choose. But for this to be a reality, she must be able to assess her options without pressure.

    #bufferzones around clinics will help to enforce this - and groups offering actual pregnancy support can continue their work in a more appropriate location.

  22. CW: Edinburgh, anti-abortion ‘support’

    Given the nature of its parent body’s somewhat aggressive tactics, it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if the location of SHE Pregnancy Support was chosen to be provocatively close to the Chalmers Sexual Health Centre

    Chalmers is frequently the target of Christian anti-abortion protesters, and having attended the centre for other reasons, I can testify to just how intimidating it is to see these people as you arrive or leave

    I really hope Scottish Green MSP Gillian Mackay’s bill to create 150-metre no-protest buffer zones around abortion clinics will be passed by the Scottish Parliament 🤞

    Though the Stanton clinic is probably about as close to the Chalmers Centre as they could reasonably get, it’s still about 450 metres or so, so is likely to be outside any buffer zone
