The United Kingdom has called for Israel to resolve the situation regarding the detention of the Madleen aid boat “safely with restraint, in line with international humanitarian law”, BBC reports.

British Prime Minister’s official spokesperson Dave Pares told reporters at a Downing Street briefing that “we have made clear our position in relation to the humanitarian situation in Gaza. The PM has called it appalling and intolerable.”

“We have made it very clear we must get more aid into Gaza,” he said adding that “ the unimpeded entry of assistance at scale to meet the enormous needs in Gaza is critical“.
