David Lammy has criticized the new aid distribution mechanism in Gaza, stating, 'We don't support the aid foundation that has been set up. It's not doing a good job.' He expressed concern about the humanitarian situation, noting that 'too many people are close to starvation' and 'too many people have lost their lives.' He condemned the system saying the UK has led globally in condemning it, particularly in light of reports that 'hundreds of Palestinians have been gunned down by Israeli fire' while seeking assistance from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
In response to questioning about possible measures against Israel, Lammy affirmed that the British government is prepared to act, stating, 'Yes, we will.' He referenced the UK imposing sanctions on Israeli ministers for inciting violence and previously suspending free trade agreement talks due to the blockade that has led to a humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
