Keir Starmer criticized Israel's actions in Gaza as appalling and counterproductive during mounting political pressure on the UK government to take decisive action. Following recent attacks on food distribution points that resulted in civilian casualties, the UK is weighing sanctions against Israel but resists calls for arms bans and recognizing Palestine. Starmer emphasized the urgency for humanitarian aid as conditions in Gaza worsen, echoing sentiments from aid charities and the International Committee of the Red Cross, highlighting the dire situation faced by Palestinian civilians.
Oxfam UK said conditions in Gaza had reached a level of inhumanity that is inconceivable in modern times.
The ICRC president stated what was happening in Gaza surpassed any acceptable legal, moral and humane standard.
