It lost $380,000 and closed all its branches in Britain and Ireland for the sake of Gaza and its people.
The British company Lush closed all its branches and its website for one day in solidarity with Gaza, raising banners reading "Stop starving Gaza – We are closed in solidarity." The company estimated its losses at around £300,000 ($380,000), according to the company's owner, and called on the British government to stop arms exports to Israel. It also announced that it would donate the profits from a charity product (watermelon slices) to support the injured in Gaza at its 50 branches around the world, emphasizing that its financial loss was not a loss, but rather a duty to stand with the oppressed people.
