Israel’s daily pauses fall short of easing Gaza suffering, says UK’s foreign miner | World News

Britain’s Foreign Secretary David Lammy said Israel’s plan to pause its military operations for 10 hours a day in parts of Gaza is not enough to meet the urgent needs of civilians caught in the conflict, Reuters reported.
In a statement on Sunday, Lammy said the announcement was “essential but long overdue” and called for faster delivery of aid and a broader political solution.
“This announcement alone cannot alleviate the needs of those desperately suffering in Gaza,” Lammy said, according to Reuters. “We need a ceasefire that can end the war, for hostages to be released and aid to enter Gaza land unhindered.”

Israel said the daily pauses would allow more humanitarian aid to enter through designated corridors. But aid groups say conditions on the ground remain dire, with food, water, and medical supplies running low.
As per reports more than 38,000 Palestinians have been killed since the war began last October, after Hamas launched a deadly attack on Israel. The war has displaced hundreds of thousands and caused a deep humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.
The United Nations and international agencies have warned that many people in Gaza are at risk of starvation. Access to aid remains limited, with repeated calls for Israel to fully open land crossings and ensure the safety of humanitarian workers.
Lammy said the UK would continue to push for increased access and support efforts for a lasting ceasefire.
