Humanitarian crisis in Gaza

 

This page is dedicated to the effort taking place to help the people of Gaza. Last November, leaders from all political parties in the town passed a motion calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

Councillor Hazel Simmons MBE, Leader of Luton Council, said: "our thoughts and prayers remain with all those affected by the hugely distressing scenes we have all witnessed in the past few months and the humanitarian catastrophe.
