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

One of the largest beauty retailers in Britain has shut its UK shops in a one-day demonstration of solidarity with Gaza. 

Alongside its more than 100 locations in the UK, Lush Cosmetics also closed its factories and website on Wednesday. 

“Across the Lush business we share the anguish that millions of people feel seeing the images of starving people in Gaza, Palestine,” said the company in a statement. 

“Like the rest of the world, we struggle to find ways we can help whilst the Israeli government is preventing urgent humanitarian assistance from entering Gaza. 

“One thing Lush can currently send into Gaza is our love and a strong message that we stand in solidarity.”
