The UK, alongside 25 other partners, urges Israel to allow the full resumption of aid now. The limited supplies due to enter Gaza are simply not enough. The UN has raised concerns over new aid model proposals. Israel must ensure the UN & agencies can operate.

Stability in the Middle East is vital for global security. I’m concerned to see reports of strikes overnight. Further escalation is a serious threat to peace & stability in the region and in no one’s interest. This is a dangerous moment & I urge all parties to show restraint.

Great news 👏 Norway has committed a total of NOK 10bn to Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance and the The Global Fund, to fund the global work to combat AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. The UK, as co-host of the GF's 8th replenishment, will continue to work with Norway on this important agenda.
