Ireland pledges additional humanitarian aid for Gaza
Ireland will provide an additional 6 million euros ($6.5m) in humanitarian aid for people in Gaza as the UN and aid agencies prepare to scale up relief efforts following the ceasefire, Tanaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade Simon Harris says.
“The blockade on humanitarian aid has resulted in famine and untold horror for people in Gaza,” Harris said.
“Israel must do what it can to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid to people in Gaza, and the international community must rally behind efforts to save and rebuild lives that have been shattered by this war.”
PM Starmer says UK ready to help in removing Hamas weapons
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer says his country is ready to assist in monitoring the ceasefire in Gaza.
He offered the UK’s experience in Northern Ireland to help in the decommissioning of Hamas’s military capabilities.
Speaking at a summit in Egypt, Starmer said Britain is ready to “play its full part” in ensuring the current ceasefire results in a lasting peace.
“We stand ready in relation to monitoring the ceasefire and decommissioning Hamas capability and weaponry, and that’s drawing on our experience in Northern Ireland and the IRA [Irish Republican Army], which we dealt with in particular in relation to decommissioning,” he said.
Starmer can't wait to get back into Palestine... All the previous times went so well, and you're still complicit in the genocide.
