In the previous 50 days, Israel’s elaborate bombing of Gaza had resulted in over 2,200 Palestinians were killed, over 500 of them were children. Over 20,000 Palestinian homes were destroyed during the 50 days of bombing of Gaza by Israel, the most heavily armed state in the region. While, Gaza was bombed Britain contnued to supply military equipment to the Israeli regime despite public protest against Arms trade with countries in violation International law.
