Starmer calls for UK to match Gaza aid from EU and US

The Labour leader said the help on offer so far to Palestinians was a first step but “nowhere near enough”.

Sir Keir Starmer said the EU planned to treble its humanitarian aid and the US was appointing a coordinator for international aid, and he called on the UK to match that help.

He was responding to Rishi Sunak’s statement on Israel and Gaza.
