LONDON – The UK’s deputy prime minister, Oliver Dowden, has called for an “immediate ceasefire” in Gaza, the Guardian reported Tuesday.
Speaking in Seoul in an interview, Dowden said the British government was “continuously” urging Israel to abide by international humanitarian law and had also raised concerns about getting aid into Gaza. Yesterday a UN-backed report warned that famine was “imminent” in northern Gaza.
“That’s why we are calling for an immediate ceasefire to allow that aid in,” he said.
