Since October, Doctors Without Borders have been on the ground in Gaza, where every human is an IDF target, risking their lives to give vital care to the thousands injured by Israel0’s indiscriminate attacks on the starving and defenceless.

Ceasefire Now. Free PalestineNatalie Roberts, MSF Executive Director said After more than two months of war, Israels unrelenting and indiscriminate strikes on Gaza have caused unprecedented and catastrophic levels of civilian harm. Nowhere is safe. Hospitals that are overflowing with the sick and wounded are coming under fire or being raided by Israeli forces, killing doctors, health workers, colleagues. Our teams continue to do what they can without even the basic guarantees of safety. We desperately want to do more, but for that we need an immediate and unconditional ceasefire.Huge thanks to Massive Attack, Fontaines DC and Young Fathers for all their support.Copies have been packed using different combinations of coloured vinyl and sleeves.
