David Lammy 'Appalled and Sickened' by Civilian Suffering in Gaza

Foreign Secretary David Lammy expressed being appalled by the suffering of Gaza civilians and called for an enduring ceasefire and Palestinian state recognition.
The call follows extensive violence in Gaza since October 2023, including thousands killed and reports of civilians dying while seeking aid amid collapsed infrastructure.
Lammy announced a £60 million UK aid package for Gaza and defended ongoing arms export restrictions while acknowledging limits on controlling global supply chains.
He described the situation as "grotesque" and "hugely disappointing," condemned attacks on civilians, and said the UK would act more if Israel's conduct does not change.
Tory MP Kit Malthouse criticized Lammy's stance as complicity and accused him of inaction risking legal consequences, reflecting sharp domestic political disagreement over UK policy.
