UK Accuses Israel of Breaking International Law Over Gaza Aid Blockade

The UK government condemns Israel's two-week blockade of humanitarian aid to Gaza, citing a worsening crisis for over 2 million people.

  • The UK government has officially accused Israel of breaching international law by blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza, marking a significant shift in its stance.
  • Israel's two-week blockade has halted the entry of food, fuel, and medicine into Gaza, exacerbating an already severe humanitarian crisis.
  • Foreign Secretary David Lammy urged Israel to resume aid deliveries, emphasizing the urgent need for over 600 daily aid trucks to support Gaza's population.
  • Israel defends the blockade as a strategy to pressure Hamas during ceasefire negotiations, claiming aid is being misused for military purposes.
  • The conflict has escalated further with the collapse of the ceasefire, as renewed Israeli airstrikes reportedly killed hundreds of Palestinians overnight.
