‘Stop starving Gaza’: Cosmetics giant Lush closes UK stores in solidarity with Palestinians

Cosmetics giant Lush closed its UK stores, factories, and website for one day as a demonstration of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. The company cited the anguish felt over images of starvation and the ongoing humanitarian crisis resulting from Israel's actions. Lush stated that the loss of tax revenue for the day is intended to pressure the UK government to stop arms sales to Israel. The retailer also announced the return of its fundraising 'Watermelon Slice' soap, with proceeds going towards medical services in Gaza.
