Dear friends
Please visit this page immediately and add your name to Oxfam's call for
an immediate ceasefire in the Israel/Gaza/Lebanon conflict.
This is a very short term action that will most likely be presented to
Blair sometime this week, and it's important to sign up before Blair meets
Bush on Friday.
Best wishes

OXFAM CALLS FOR IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE
<http://www.oxfam.org.uk/what_we_do/emergencies/country/middleeast/action.htm>

[Text on this page]
The situation in the Middle East continues to deteriorate rapidly.
Hundreds have already died and an estimated 500,000 people have had to
flee their homes and have been forced to shelter in buildings with little
or no help to meet their basic needs.
This situation is unacceptable
Fill in the form below and demand that Tony Blair add the British
government's weight behind the international calls for an immediate
ceasefire.

Dear Prime Minister,
I am deeply alarmed that the situation in the Lebanon, Gaza and Israel
continues to deteriorate rapidly.
I am concerned that the British government has yet to use its full
influence to bring about an immediate ceasefire, and full compliance with
international humanitarian law.
By failing to back the UN and call for an immediate ceasefire the British
government has reduced the impact of international calls for an immediate
halt to the violence. As such, your current policy risks putting civilian
lives at continued risk rather than helping to protect them.
I ask that you take every opportunity available within the international
community to push for an immediate ceasefire as a first step to end the
suffering, which worsens each day.
