Scenes from Rafah are heartbreaking and deeply wrong.
We plead for constraint, for laws to be followed, for the protection of civilians, for the release of hostages.
But most importantly we plead for an end to this killing!
Enough is enough!

Rafah is under attack. We know from history what happens when we stand by and do nothing.
We call on the UK Government to do all it can to persuade the Government of Israel to change course. Over a million people in Rafah are at grave risk.

St John Ogilvie died passionately upholding his faith. He was sentenced to death for practicing Catholicism in Scotland at a time that it was forbidden. Just before he was executed, he threw his hidden rosary beads into the onlooking crowd.
