Nov 29th is UN International Day of Solidarity with Palestinian People. How they need that now!
Prices of food in Gaza are now extremely high. The work Musheir has done on the ground has enabled volunteers to access supplies and so far 1831 families have had parcels of food or blankets or clothes.
Every £400 pounds raised will feed 1000 people with rice and lentils.

Sheffield demands “Ceasefire Now!”
On November 11th, at lest 10 coaches, put on by various organisations, went from Sheffield to London; meanwhile at least 1500 people marched from Ellesmere Green to the Town Hall to demand a ceasefire and an end to occupation preceded by two minutes of silence at Ellesmere Green.
Some very good speeches from people from many different communities exposing the lie of this being a hate march.
We were lucky to start the rally with some magnificent and emotional singing from different Sheffield choirs.
It was magnificent to welcome back Musheir El Farra who, with his son Qasem, did such a lot of amazing work while they were trapped in Gaza
