London: Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom David Lammy praised the efforts of Qatar, Egypt, and the United States as mediators to end the war in the Gaza Strip.
In a statement, Lammy said: "The UK supports the efforts of Qatar, Egypt and the US as mediators and urges all parties to resume talks on a pathway for lasting peace and security," stressing that the humanitarian suffering in Gaza has reached new depths.
In this context, he called for the acceleration of the delivery of humanitarian aid in the coming hours and days. He noted that the Israeli occupation's announcement of a temporary pause to allow the opening of humanitarian corridors and the resumption of airdrops of aid alone cannot alleviate the suffering of those in need.
The Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom stressed the need for a ceasefire that can end the war, for hostages to be released, and for aid to enter Gaza by land unhindered.
In this regard, he said that land routes serve as the only viable and sustainable means of providing aid into Gaza, adding that these measures must be fully implemented and further barriers on aid removed.
Lammy pointed out that UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has already announced plans to work with Jordan to get aid into Gaza and to evacuate children who need critical medical assistance to the UK for treatment.
