Fontaines DC, Massive Attack and Young Fathers have announced the release of an exclusive, limited edition vinyl record in support of Medecins Sans Frontieres / Doctors Without Borders (MSF) emergency operations in Gaza and the West Bank. The 12' vinyl-only release features material from Fontaines DC and Massive Attack/Young Fathers. It features a ceasefire sleeve design by 3D of Massive Attack. The reverse sleeve of the 12' features words written on a hospital whiteboard in Gaza by Doctors Without Borders medic Dr Mahmoud Abu Nujaila - words which went viral on global social media - depicting the desperation of medical professionals and civilians in Gaza. Tragically, Dr Nujaila was killed in a strike a few weeks later. 'WHOEVER STAYSUNTIL THE ENDWILL TELL THE STORY,WE DID WHAT WE COULD. REMEMBER US'Despite repeated deadly attacks on it's staff, medics, surgeons, and aid conveys, Doctors Without Borders volunteers continue to offer critical support to the civilians of Gaza. Fontaines DC, Massive Attack and Young Fathers have donated their music in full support of the incredible Doctors Without Borders staff working in Gaza today, as a statement for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and the West Bank, and in solidarity with the Palestinian people living under a brutal military occupation. Fontaines DC, Massive Attack & Young Fathers will donate 100% of the profits from this promotional venture to Medecins Sans Frontieres (UK - charity number: 1026588) emergency operations in Gaza and the West Bank. The total donation is expected to be in excess of £150,000. 3D (Massive Attack) said: 'The hourly scenes of horror in Gaza, with hospitals and schools bombed to dust and innocent civilians, journalists and doctors killed in unspeakable numbers has been made so much worse by more than ten weeks of abject political failure. We're in awe of the Doctors Without Borders medics who place their lives on the line to help innocent civilians in Gaza. The ceasefire EP is a tribute to them, and their incredible ongoing work in truly indescribable circumstances. We stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine'Fontaines DC said: 'Fontaines DC join millions across the world in demanding an immediate ceasefire and a permanent end to Israel's brutal occupation of Palestine. Since October, Doctors Without Borders have been on the ground in Gaza, where every human is an IDF target, risking their lives to give vital care to the thousands injured by Israel's indiscriminate attacks on the starving and defenseless. We feel utterly helpless in what we can do at this point however we do hope our small contribution to this record can raise some desperately needed funds for Doctors Without Borders in Gaza. Ceasefire Now. Free Palestine'Natalie Roberts, MSF Executive Director said: 'After more than two months of war, Israel's unrelenting and indiscriminate strikes on Gaza have caused unprecedented and catastrophic levels of civilian harm. Nowhere is safe. Hospitals that are overflowing with the sick and wounded are coming under fire or being raided by Israeli forces, killing doctors, health workers, colleagues. Our teams continue to do what they can without even the basic guarantees of safety. We desperately want to do more, but for that we need an immediate and unconditional ceasefire. Huge thanks to Massive Attack, Fontaines DC and Young Fathers for all their support. '*Copies have been packed using different combinations of colored vinyl and sleeves.
