- On Monday, Foreign Secretary David Lammy announced £15 million more humanitarian support for Gaza, urging Israel to allow a surge in aid amid a reported 'man-made famine'.
- An official told the Associated Press on Saturday Israel will reduce aid deliveries to northern Gaza as it prepares evacuations, prompting ministers and international partners to seek practical ways to unblock aid and address Israeli concerns about diversions.
