Red Line for Gaza – Nationwide UK Medical Staff Demonstration

08 July 2025 - Medics and supporters from across the UK will be demonstrating at Parliament Square in Westminster on Thursday, 10 July from 10:45am -12:30 pm BST/09:45am-11:30am GMT against the wholesale destruction of Gaza’s healthcare system. 

Their message is simple: Hospitals have been destroyed, doctors and healthcare workers have been targeted, killed, and kidnapped, and tens of thousands of patients have been killed by Israeli forces. This crosses a red line. The UK government must act now to put an end to these atrocities. ​

The call to action has been organised by a coalition including Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF), War Child, Oxfam, Medical Aid for Palestinians, British Medical Association, Choose Love, Doctors of the World, Quakers in Britain, Christian Aid, All We Can, and Humanity and Inclusion. 

Medical and healthcare workers dressed in red will link arms to form a symbolic line around the Square.

Guest speakers will read out testimonies detailing their experiences in Gaza. 

Media interviews will be available with those providing testimony as well as MSF UK’s Executive Director, Dr Natalie Roberts. 

Medical workers who are unable to attend will take part by dressing in red and forming lines wherever they may be. They will upload the photos at 11:30am BST/10:30am GMT on social media with the hashtag #RedLineforGaza.

If you would like more information or are interested in media interviews ahead of/on the day, please contact the MSF UK press office via email media@london.msf.org or call +44 (0) 207 067 4236.
