The promised humanitarian aid of £ 4m to the government today became known by the government, while the country’s development minister Jenny Chapman visited Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories.
“The failure of the Israeli government to allow its full access to workers in relief organizations is abominable. Few trucks enter Gaza, “Chapman said.
“Britain is clear, Israel will not achieve security by extending the suffering of the Palestinian people,” he added.
Yesterday, the United Kingdom suspended free trade talks with Israel because of its new attack on Gaza, with Foreign Minister David Lami appealing to the end of blocking aid.
The British Red Cross will receive the new aid package and deliver it through the Palestinian Red Crescent, London said.
