Britain pledges additional aid to Gaza

Published November 24, 2023

Britain will provide another $37.38 million of humanitarian aid to Gaza, Foreign Secretary David Cameron said as he travels to the occupied Palestinian territories on the second day of his visit to the region, Reuters reports.

Cameron will meet Palestinian leaders and aid agencies.

“We are hopeful that today will see the release of hostages, and I am urging all parties to continue to work towards the release of every hostage. A pause will also allow access for life-saving aid to the people of Gaza,” Cameron said in a statement.

“I am proud that a fourth UK flight carrying critical supplies landed in Egypt today, and I can announce new £30m of funding which will be spent on vital aid such as shelter and medical provisions,” he said.
