Israeli aid blockade ‘appalling and unacceptable’: UK

UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy told parliament Israel’s barrage of missiles that killed hundreds of Palestinians – the majority women and children – is “an appalling loss of life and we mourn the loss of every civilian”. A UN compound in Gaza was hit in the attacks and he confirmed “a British national was amongst the wounded. “Gaza has been the most dangerous place in the world to be an aid worker,” he noted. “I share the outrage of UN Secretary-General Guterres at this incident,” he added.
