Suffering in Gaza is indefensible, says Keir Starmer
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, JUL 24 – Keir Starmer urges urgent talks with European leaders to end violence and address severe shortages as 25% of Gaza's population faces famine-like conditions, World Health Organization says.
- On July 25, the Herald’s front page displayed an image of Muhammad Zakariya Ayyoub al-Matouq, a one-year-old child in Gaza suffering from severe malnutrition that threatens his life.
- This humanitarian crisis follows the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack that killed about 1,200 people and prompted Israel's military escalation and blockade controlling Gaza’s food shipments.
- Despite aid efforts, tons of supplies remain blocked at the borders while one in five children in Gaza suffer from malnutrition amid violence at aid distribution sites in militarized zones.
- Sir Keir Starmer described the conditions as a “humanitarian catastrophe,” condemned the suffering as “unspeakable and indefensible,” and called for Israel to change course with a ceasefire leading to Palestinian state recognition.
- Ongoing blockade and violence have resulted in daily deaths and stalled ceasefire talks, indicating urgent international action is required to address the worsening famine and conflict.
