The UK will work together with the US on shipment of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip through the new maritime corridor, the UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron announced.
“People in Gaza are in desperate humanitarian need. Alongside the US, the UK and partners have announced we will open a maritime corridor to deliver aid directly to Gaza,” he said on his X page. “We continue to urge Israel to allow more trucks into Gaza as the fastest way to get aid to those who need it.”
On March 7, US President Joe Biden announced that Washington will establish a temporary port in the Gaza Strip for delivery of humanitarian aid to the Palestinian enclave by sea.
