UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy has announced $7m to the humanitarian medical NGO to “support their ongoing work to provide humanitarian assistance and medical treatment to those in Gaza”, Al Jazeera reports.

“The situation in Gaza remains desperate and the need for medical aid is crucial. That is why this money is so important. Helping to save lives and deliver emergency care to those most in need,” Lammy said in a statement.

“This funding will be used to support the ongoing work of their field hospitals and the emergency department at Nasser Hospital. It will allow medics, including those from the UK, to continue carrying out vital work to treat thousands more patients suffering from acute respiratory illnesses, infections, and explosive fragmentation trauma cases.”
