I disagree with the BBC's decision not to broadcast appeals for humanitarian aid to Gaza.

I believe the BBC should be publicising the public appeal. The DEC has stressed that its aid agencies are non-political and working on the basis of humanitarian need.

The DEC (Disasters Emergency Committee) is an umbrella organisation which includes Action Aid, British Red Cross, Cafod, Care International UK, Christian Aid, Concern Worldwide, Help the Aged, Islamic Relief, Merlin, Oxfam, Save the Children, Tearfund and World Vision.

Here is the URL of the website where donations can be made to the appeal:
