Campaigners from across Mid Sussex travelled to Westminster recently to call for an immediate Gaza ceasefire.

Constituents and members of Parents for Peace Mid Sussex met with Mid Sussex MP Mims Davies on Thursday to ask her to support the permanent ceasefire.

They presented her with a local petition, a painted banner with children’s handprints on it, and more than 50 letters from local residents.

Holly Edwards from Parents for Peace Mid Sussex said: “Putting our children to bed in warmth and comfort, knowing a child in Gaza will go to sleep and not wake up every night is too much to bear. our leaders need to do more.”
