British Palestinians urge action from Government as relatives starve in Gaza
The group is asking the Government to drop the 2030 roadmap for UK-Israel bilateral relations and impose comprehensive economic and diplomatic sanctions on Israel.
It also wants the UK to cease all forms of military co-operation with Israel and impose a full two-way arms embargo.
Israel has imposed a blockade on the Gaza Strip since March.
On Wednesday, an Israeli and US-backed group paused food delivery at its three distribution sites in the Gaza Strip after health officials said dozens of Palestinians were killed in a series of shootings near the sites this week.
Israel's military said it fired near people it described as suspects who it said approached its forces and ignored warning shots.
It says it is looking into reports of casualties and blamed Hamas for civilian deaths because the militant group is entrenched in populated areas.
Wafaa Shamallakh, 38, an Arabic interpreter who works for Kingston Council and whose siblings are in south Gaza, described the danger they have faced trying to access aid.
'When they go to what they call distribution points, it's very hard,' Ms Shamallakh told the PA news agency.
'There are hundreds of thousands of people gathering in a big crowd.
'The Israeli army, they don't leave them alone just to collect what they want.
'I have a relative who got injured because they were firing on the ground and he got shrapnel in his shoulder. He was lucky to survive.
'They also throw smoke bombs on people, so they make it very hard to see.'
Ms Shamallakh, who says she has stayed in close contact with her family over the last 18 months, described their daily struggle for survival.
Her brother and sister, who have had to relocate several times since the war started, have returned to their neighbourhood in south Gaza which has been reduced to rubble.
'They live in tents with no insulation, no electricity, no water,' she said.
'They have to cook their food and bread on fire.
'They have to in the morning go search for wood which is very difficult to find.
'They often have to take a very deadly journey to search in bombed buildings.'
Ms Shamallakh said her siblings and nieces and nephews have lost a significant amount of weight.
She said: 'My brother and sister have to divide a piece of bread with their children so everyone can have a little taste of bread.
'They have to make lentil soup, and in the morning and in the evening at dinner time they have to eat the same thing.
'If they are lucky enough they can have a can of beans or something or they mix a little pasta to make a meal different from just lentil soup.'
'The moment of relief for my sister was when her husband came back after trying to go to aid distribution points, and he came back alive,' said Ms Shamallakh.
'He came back with nothing, but at least he was alive.
'This is the situation of all the Gazans, not only my family.'
Ali Mousa, 30, who lives in Manchester, fears for his sister Hind, who is a teacher in Gaza.
'The last 18 months have been really horrible. Lots of worries, lots of tears and just feeling scared all of the time,' Mr Mousa said.
'We lost contact and we couldn't reach her while she's in Gaza, and now they are experiencing starvation.
'The huge challenge now is that we feel really helpless. While my sister is going through all of this horrific experience, we can't really help her that much.'
'I feel that she could be killed anytime. She could be starved.
'I want her to survive this. I want her to be in a safe place. I don't want to lose her.'
On Thursday, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer told reporters aid needs to reach the people of Gaza 'at speed and at volume', describing the current situation as 'utterly intolerable'.
'In relation to what's happening in Gaza, we've been absolutely clear that it is intolerable and we need to get back to a ceasefire urgently, and that is our constant work with other allies to get us to that position,' he said.
'We need those hostages to come out, many of them have been held for a very long time.
'Of course, humanitarian aid needs to get in at speed and at volume, but that can only happen if we get back to a ceasefire, so I'm absolutely clear that the situation as it is is utterly intolerable, and that's why we've taken measures like the trading talks have been stood down, the sanctions we've put in and we're working with allies to see what else we can do.'

Senior judges reveal regret at handing out ‘unfair' indefinite jail terms and call for scandal to be ‘put right'
Senior judges who imposed 'unfair' indefinite jail terms, which have left scores of inmates locked up for minor offences languishing in prison for decades, have revealed their regret for their part in the 'injustice'. Former High Court judge Sir John Saunders said he would apologise to offenders he handed imprisonment for public protection (IPP) jail terms, which were scrapped in 2012, but not retrospectively, leaving thousands already jailed incarcerated with no release date. Now the very judges who dished out the punishment have joined calls for the government to take urgent action to help more than 2,500 prisoners still trapped under the abolished jail term, which has been branded 'psychological torture' by the UN. Victims of the scandal, whose tragic cases have been highlighted by The Independent, include Leroy Douglas, who has served almost 20 years for stealing a mobile phone; Thomas White, 42, who set himself alight in his cell and has served 13 years for stealing a phone; and Abdullahi Suleman, 41, who is still inside 19 years after he was jailed for a laptop robbery. Sir John, 76, who served as recorder of Birmingham before he was appointed to the High Court, told The Independent that if he met an IPP prisoner he had jailed who was years over tariff, he would apologise. 'I should say I'm really sorry this has happened, it's extremely unfair,' he said. 'I didn't want to be party to unfairness. I would feel very bad about it, I would apologise to them.' He said that when the sentence was introduced in 2005 by New Labour in a bid to be tough on crime, it appeared there was a 'certain degree of sense' to plans to ensure offenders completed rehabilitation courses before they were approved for release by the Parole Board. But judges had no idea those prisoners would find themselves trapped in prison indefinitely, often without access to the courses they needed to be released. He added: 'I think the essence of the job of a judge is to be fair. And we really do all try to do that. So when we conduct criminal trials, we attempt to be fair. In passing sentences, we attempt to be fair. 'If we have been party to something which has been accepted by everybody as unfair and we have been part of it… it's a bit of an affront to the job.' He and Simon Tonking, the former recorder of Stafford, have lobbied prisons minister Lord James Timpson to help those still trapped under the jail term. Both have backed a package of proposals put forward by an expert panel convened by the Howard League for Penal Reform, calling for IPP prisoners to be given a release date within a two-year window at their next parole hearing. Mr Tonking recalled imposing an IPP sentence with a minimum tariff of just six months for a relatively minor offence after a man was caught following a woman in an alley. 'Now I wonder what happened to him,' he told The Independent. 'He was in his late twenties. For all I know, he may still be there [in prison]. 'And when I look back at that case, I think I should have tried harder not to impose it.' Although he was doing his best to administer the laws in place at the time, he is now determined to be part of the solution. 'I don't feel guilty, but I do feel, having been part of that, I should be doing all I can to put what has turned out to be an injustice right,' he added. 'And I am driven in part by the fact that I was part of the administration of justice at a time when these sentences were being passed. 'I have been a part of the system that is wrong. I feel that I ought to be part of the system to put it right.' Successive governments have resisted calls to resentence IPP prisoners, claiming they cannot risk letting prisoners out until they have passed the Parole Board's release test. However, at least 94 inmates have taken their own lives in custody after losing hope of being freed, according to campaigners, with many struggling as their mental health deteriorates in prison. Mr Tonking urged the Labour government to use its majority to finally end the injustice by taking up the Howard League's proposals, adding: 'Virtually everybody who has had any professional dealings with IPP knows that it's unjust and now is the time to act.' The proposed reforms also include providing a package of mental health support for released IPP prisoners and tightening up the criteria for recalling them. Currently, many find themselves hauled back to prison indefinitely for minor breaches of strict licence conditions, despite committing no further offences. Paul Glenn, who last year retired from his role as the most senior judge in Stoke-on-Trent, also backed the charity's proposals. He told The Independent: 'Nobody envisaged that 10 years after they should have been released, they would still be in custody. The injustice there is pretty obvious. 'It's undoubtedly right that we should be sentencing people for what they have done, rather than what they might do in the future.' Prisons minister Lord Timpson said: 'It is absolutely right that the IPP sentence was abolished. 'As the IPP annual report shows, we have significantly improved support for these offenders, with greater access to rehabilitation and mental health support. 'There is more work to do as we reduce the number of IPP offenders in custody, but we will only do so in a way that protects the public.'

Jeffrey Epstein sold Prince Andrew's secrets, new book claims
Jeffrey Epstein sold Prince Andrew's 'most intimate secrets' to foreign intelligence agencies around the world, a new book has claimed. Compromising material on the Duke of York is alleged to have been passed to Israel's Mossad, the Saudi Arabian authorities and the Libyan intelligence services under Colonel Gaddafi. Details of the claims are made in a new book on the prince, by author Andrew Lownie, which describes how the royal was easy prey for a 'rattlesnake' like Epstein. Victims of the US billionaire, who took his own life in 2019, have claimed for years that Epstein kept video recordings of his high-profile friends having sex with women. No proof of any recordings has ever been made public. Lownie, in his new book, credits a documentary by the Canadian journalist Ian Halperin as the source of allegations that Epstein sold Andrew's secrets to foreign agencies in the Middle East and Libya. The claims were 'confirmed' to Halperin by 'many in Andrew's circle', Lownie wrote. Halperin wrote about Epstein in his own book, Controversy: Sex, Lies and Dirty Money by the World's Powerful Elite, which was published on Amazon in 2020. In his book, Halperin claims that he spoke to Epstein in 2001 and quotes the financier at length as he discussed the Duke of York and the rest of the royal family. Epstein is quoted as telling Halperin that he had met Queen Elizabeth and introduced Princess Diana to Dodi Fayed, among other eyebrow-raising claims. The royal family were 'completely brilliant' because they were the 'richest motherf***ers' in the world, while collecting money from British taxpayers, Epstein is alleged to have told Halperin. The Canadian journalist, who wrote a bestselling book about Michael Jackson in 2009, has a colourful past. A September 2007 story on the website Spiked Online, seven months after the death of the model Anna Nicole Smith, said Halperin claimed to have once slept with her in front of Marilyn Monroe's grave. Halperin told The Times that the incident happened. He added: 'When I interviewed Epstein, he made numerous sensational claims. As I've said numerous times, Epstein was a complete sociopath who could not be trusted at all, as far as I am concerned.' Lownie told The Times that he didn't 'buy everything' in Halperin's Epstein book, but added that the information he had put into his own book had been 'verified'. He said: 'The claim about the kompromat, I've got it from other sources.' In his book Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, Lownie wrote that 'other sources' alleged Epstein had Kremlin connections and may have been an 'agent of influence' for Vladimir Putin. Epstein played Andrew, Lownie said. He wrote in his book: 'The prince was a useful idiot who gave him respectability, access to political leaders and business opportunities. He found him easy to exploit.' The book also quotes US businessman, and convicted fraudster, Steven Hoffenberg, who knew Epstein, as saying that Andrew was his 'Super Bowl trophy' and Epstein planned to sell Andrew's secrets to Mossad. Hoffenberg said: 'Andrew had a weakness for the girls and fast life, Epstein provided that fantasy. 'Andrew would then give intelligence that Epstein would give to Israel. Andrew didn't understand that he was being used.' The Duke of York, 65, who was friendly with Epstein and his girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell for years, was accused of sleeping with 17-year-old Virginia Giuffre, then known as Virginia Roberts, in London. He later settled with Giuffre in 2022, with no admissions, after she sued him in the US. Giuffre died by suicide earlier this year. The Duke of York has been contacted for comment.
