British Prime Minister Andy Burnham vowed on Wednesday to put pressure on Israel to allow aid into Gaza. He stated that the humanitarian situation in the territory is "heartbreaking" and that his government is doing "everything" possible to address it. Burnham made these remarks during the weekly Prime Minister's Questions session in the House of Commons, following a question about the recent storm in Gaza.
The storm flooded over 70,000 tents and brought down dozens of war-damaged walls, according to the Government Media Office.
Burnham also highlighted the recent tragedy in Gaza, where two women and three children were killed when a sand embankment collapsed onto tents housing displaced Palestinians. He emphasized that his government has taken additional steps on sanctions, with a focus on settlements in the occupied West Bank, in order to maintain the feasibility of a two-state solution. Burnham affirmed that his government remains committed to pursuing the outlined path, pending the outcome of the Israeli general election.
