The UK has spoken out against the monstrous' human catastrophe in Gaza. Why won't Australia do more? | Donald Rothwell
Briefly

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has escalated dramatically, with 2.1 million Palestinians trapped under a severe blockade that has lasted for over 10 weeks, resulting in starvation and malnutrition. UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher has warned that immediate food and medical supplies are critical to saving lives, especially for vulnerable infants. In sharp political moves, the UK has suspended trade talks with Israel amidst widespread condemnation of its military actions, while Australia, despite expressing concern, has remained largely silent on the situation.
For more than 10 weeks, nothing has entered Gaza—no food, medicine, water or tents. We must lift this brutal blockade. Let humanitarians save lives.
The UK has announced a suspension of trade talks with Israel, and Foreign Secretary David Lammy condemned Israel's military incursion as morally unjustifiable and repellent.
