Thousands of starving civilians – women and children killed while queuing for food, hospitals, aid workers and journalists deliberately targeted,’ Paul Nowak, TUC General Secretary told the TUC Congress in Brighton yesterday morning. ‘I’m proud to say we are joined today by Shaher Saed, general secretary of the Palestinian General Federation of Trade Unions. ‘Because you can’t have a two-state solution without a safe, secure and free Palestine. ‘I am not only here to speak about the situation but I represent workers, workers who have their lives destroyed, families murdered, no clean water, no access to food, to hospital, to schools. Free, Free Palestine.’Also speaking at the meeting were Louise Regan, NEU; Mick Whelan, ASLEF; Jo Grady, UCU; Fran Heathcote, PCS; Christina McAnea, Unison; Eddie Dempsey, RMT and Ben Jamal, PSC.
