The UK has increased funding for UK-Med to provide medical assistance in Gaza, as Foreign Secretary David Lammy visits Israel and Palestine on his first trip to the region since taking office. The UK will provide an additional £5.5 million to medical aid charity UK-Med, to support its work in Gaza, particularly in field hospitals and Al Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis. “The death and destruction in Gaza is intolerable. This war must end now, with an immediate ceasefire….aid must be allowed in to reach the people of Gaza without restrictions,” Mr Lammy said in a statement.
