UK-based charity Save the Children has criticised the British government for failing to vote for a ceasefire in Gaza at the UN Security Council, accusing it of complicity in what Gazan children will face.

In a post on X, it said Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his government chose to “turn their backs” on the children of Gaza yet again.

“By failing to vote for a Ceasefire now at the UN Security Council, the UK is complicit in the horror that children will endure in the coming hours, days, and weeks,” it said.
