Between 27 December 2008 and 18 January 2009, over 1400 Palestinians were killed by Israel in a brutal and illegal attack on the Gaza Strip, destroying lives and infrastructure. Two years on, Gaza’s infrastructure has still not been repaired due to Israel’s blockade.

On September 15, 2009, a 574 page report by UN inquiry team was released, officially titled "Human Rights in Palestine and Other Occupied Arab Territories: Report of the United Nations Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict". It concluded that the Israel Defence Force committed war crimes and possibly crimes against humanity.On October 16, 2009, the UN Human Rights Council endorsed the report.

Join us, and bring family and friends, to send a clear message:
End the Siege, Free Gaza, Free Palestine, prosecute the war criminals.
