UK confirms more aid will be sent to Gaza
The UK has pledged an additional £8.5 million in humanitarian aid for Gaza, following Israel 's announcement of expanded military operations.
Development minister Baroness Jenny Chapman stated the aid's effectiveness depends on Israel allowing a significant increase in humanitarian supplies into Gaza, condemning current blockages.
Foreign Secretary David Lammy joined international counterparts in condemning Israeli plans to take over Gaza City, warning such actions could violate international law.
Israel's stated intentions for the Gaza Strip include demilitarisation, Israeli security control, and the establishment of an alternative civil administration.
International ministers, including the UK's, reaffirmed their commitment to a negotiated two-state solution, stressing the need for Hamas 's demilitarisation and the Palestinian Authority 's central role in Gaza's governance.
