UK Minister for Development and Africa Andrew Mitchell is on a visit to Cairo for discussions on how to get significantly more aid into Gaza. Mitchell will discuss how to enact humanitarian pauses in the fighting as soon as possible so that aid, including fuel, can be delivered for hospitals and other needs and hostages can be released. He will meet the Egyptian Red Crescent Society, the agency responsible for the shipment of humanitarian goods across the Rafah border, and the UN resident co-ordinator in Egypt, Elena Panova.
