Israel's announcement that it will allow a basic quantity of food into Gaza is wholly inadequate. 2.1 million people are in dire need of food, healthcare, water, and shelter. As the Minister for the Middle East stated on 4 June, Israel's newly introduced measures for aid delivery are inhumane, foster desperation and endanger civilians. No one should risk death or injury to feed their family. The UK will not support any mechanism that endangers civilians or politicises aid. Israel must immediately allow the United Nations and aid partners to safely deliver all types of aid at scale to save lives, reduce suffering and maintain dignity.
