British Foreign Secretary David Cameron says he told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu more aid trucks must be allowed to enter Gaza and an immediate “humanitarian pause” in fighting is needed.
Cameron, on a visit to the Middle East, announced Britain and Qatar are working together to get more humanitarian relief into Gaza. A first consignment of tents will be flown into Egypt on Thursday before travelling by road to Gaza.
“The scale of suffering in Gaza is unimaginable. More must be done, faster, to help people trapped in this desperate situation,” Cameron said. “We have trebled our assistance for Gaza… But our efforts will only make a difference if aid gets to those who need it most.
“As I said to Netanyahu … far more aid trucks need to be able to enter Gaza and more crossings need to open. We need an immediate humanitarian pause to get aid in and hostages out, followed by a sustainable ceasefire.”
