 Displaced Palestinians fleeing Beit Lahia amid ongoing Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip arrive in Jabalia, northern Gaza, May 16, 2025

LAWYERS shared harrowing testimonies today from doctors who treated children shot through the heart in Gaza as the government defended its decision to continue exporting arms to Israel in court.

In written submissions for the case, the government has claimed there is a “tenable view that no genocide has occurred or is occurring.”

But last August, doctors submitted chilling evidence now being shared by Global Legal Action Network (Glan), which launched the challenge alongside Palestinian organisation Al-Haq.

Dr Mark Perlmutter, who has been a humanitarian surgeon for 30 years, travelled to Gaza with the World Health Organisation last year.

He recounted how he “saw more incinerated and shredded children than I have ever seen in my entire life of working in war zones combined.”

He described treating children “whose faces had been completely disfigured, exposing the muscles.“They no longer had faces”.”I treated so many children that had been snipered, some of them multiple times.”

He said that he evaluated two children who had been snipered twice each in the head and chest.

“These two children were shot so perfectly in the chest that I couldn’t have put my stethoscope over their hearts more accurately.”

Jeremy Corbyn (right) on at the meeting in Huddersfield

Former Labour Party leader and Independent MP Jeremy Corbyn came closer than ever to declaring a new left electoral coalition or political party on Saturday.

He said a new formation would be set up before the English local elections in May 2026— earlier if possible. He said that everyone on the left outside Labour “will want to be part of and support” it. 

Hasfsa, a health worker in the audience, told Socialist Worker, “I was so pleased with what Jeremy said. It’s what I have been waiting to hear. 

“I am so disappointed with Keir Starmer and horrified by the slaughter of Palestinians. We need a new start that puts justice before personal ambition and listens to the people.”

Corbyn was speaking as around 200 people joined a Conference of Resistance in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.

It’s one of several gatherings taking place as people rage against Labour’s betrayals and want to hit back at the rise of Reform UK. 

Corbyn savaged the Labour government for its “complicity” with the genocide in Gaza and for attacking disabled people. 

Speaking before Corbyn, the former Leicester MP Claudia Webbe said, “The time for a new left political party is now”. She rammed home her point, saying, “This is not a plea, it’s a declaration.”
