The Green Party says the Government needs to follow up its words on Gaza with action.  

A group of nations, including New Zealand, have signed on to a declaration calling for a ceasefire and condemning Israeli attacks on Palestinians seeking aid.  

Greens co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick says we should sanction Israel to the same degree as Russia.  

She told Ryan Bridge words are not enough.  

Swarbrick says there's large scale starvation and Palestinians can't eat words.
