275,000 people in Gaza were provided with food aid by the UK. Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron asked for consistent access to the area for humanitarian reasons.
The UK gave over 2,000 tons of food to the World Food Programme to distribute.
The IPC, a group of many governments and aid organizations, says that a famine could happen soon in Gaza.
Lord Cameron asked Israel to let more help go in the place destroyed by war.
“He said it’s very important to keep sending help to Gaza to stop the suffering, and that’s why this recent aid delivery by WFP is crucial. ”
The IPC’s report says there could be a famine soon. We need to keep the roads open so that we can bring in more help for people in need.
“We keep asking Israel to open more crossings and to open them for longer. We also want them to make sure healthcare, water, and sanitation services are restored. ”
The foreign secretary wants Israel to make it easier to bring aid to Gaza by opening a land crossing in the north and giving more visas to UN staff.
The UK recently sent aid to a crisis-affected area and Jordan helped make it happen. Jordan has been a big help in the UK’s efforts to respond to the crisis.
The delivery has strong wheat flour for bakeries and food packages to feed over 275,000 people.
Each food package is made for a family of five and includes canned vegetables, meat and fish, and date bars.
The package can provide enough food for a family’s calorie needs for half of the day for 15 days.
It comes with 150 tons of things like blankets and tents that were paid for by the UK. There is also a hospital run by UK-Med that is now open and giving people the care they need to survive.
