Britain Calls for Increased Humanitarian Aid to Gaza Strip
British Foreign Minister Yvette Cooper has urged for more humanitarian aid to be sent to the Gaza Strip, Palestine, calling it a crucial step toward achieving true peace in the region.
Statement from British Embassy in Amman
"British aid, including food and shelter supplies, is ready in warehouses awaiting permission to enter Gaza," Cooper said, stressing that "the Gazan people cannot wait."
She highlighted the urgent need to open additional crossings and lift aid restrictions, allowing the United Nations and humanitarian organizations to intensify their life-saving efforts. This is in line with the US-led peace plan, as reported by WAFA on November 4.
Visit to Jordan and Aid Coordination
During her visit to Jordan, Foreign Minister Cooper inspected a warehouse containing British aid ready for delivery to Gaza. She emphasized Jordan's vital role as the main hub for coordinating and distributing humanitarian aid across the region.
Humanitarian Situation and Ceasefire Impact
Cooper noted that a three-week ceasefire had enabled more aid to reach Gaza, but many restrictions still block critical supplies. She warned that the humanitarian needs remain significant and require a substantial increase in support.
Summary
Yvette Cooper stressed that lifting aid restrictions and increasing humanitarian support to Gaza are essential to address urgent needs and foster peace.
