UK Defence Secretary to prioritise aid delivery in trip next week

The UK’s defence secretary has reiterated that he will urge for humanitarian aid to get into Gaza faster, when he visits Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories soon.

Earlier this week, Grant Shapps said Britain was considering sending a UK vessel to provide medical and humanitarian aid in the Middle East.

On Thursday, he said in a statement from his office:”We are working to find the best way to get aid and support to those in desperate need in the quickest and most direct route. That includes options by land, sea and air.”

He is due to meet with the Interior Minister of the Palestinian Authority, General Ziad Hab Al-Reeh as well as Israel’s Defence Minister Yoav Gallant.
