British Foreign Secretary David Miliband said the Gaza situation is "horrific" and called for the UK to act "more decisively," Middle East Eye reported. According to Miliband, people on the ground in Gaza informed him about medicines being blocked and children dying while awaiting treatment.
The foreign secretary's comments reflect mounting alarm over the humanitarian toll in Gaza. Miliband did not specify what additional measures Britain should take, but his language suggested frustration with the pace of the government's current response to the crisis in the territory.
