UK cosmetics chain closes for a day in Gaza protest

LONDON: British cosmetics chain Lush on Wednesday shut down its UK shops, factories and online sales for the day to protest the devastating humanitarian effects of Israel’s war in Gaza. The international retailer said it displayed signs reading “stop starving Gaza — we are closed in solidarity” across shuttered shop windows. “Whilst Lush is losing a day of takings, this also means that the UK government is losing a day of tax contributions from Lush and our customers,” the company, which sells its products in over 50 countries, said on its website.
