LONDON, July 22 (Xinhua) — British Foreign Secretary David Lammy on Monday condemned the killing of civilians in Gaza and criticized Israel's aid distribution model as "inhumane" after Britain endorsed a joint international statement calling for an end to the conflict.
"I categorically condemn the killing of civilians trying to meet their basic needs," Mr Lammy told MPs in the House of Commons.
"The Israeli government must answer what military justification there can be for strikes that have killed desperate, starving children," he said.
While reaffirming support for Israel's right to security and existence, the minister warned that the country's current actions "cause incalculable damage to Israel's reputation in the world and undermine its long-term security."
Lammy described Israel's recently implemented system of delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza as "inhumane, dangerous and dehumanising to the people of Gaza". He added that it "contradicts long-standing humanitarian principles" by forcing civilians, including children, "to struggle in unsafe conditions for basic necessities".
He also mentioned proposals by Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz, which reportedly included moving the entire Gaza population to Rafah and detaining Palestinians unless they emigrated. “This is a cruel idea that should never happen,” Lammy said. –0–
