In light of the dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with hundreds of thousands confronting the threat of starvation, the foreign secretary, David Lammy, has joined a worldwide chorus of criticism against Israel’s conduct, characterizing the loss of innocent lives among those in search of food and water as abhorrent.
