British PM calls the situation in Gaza 'intolerable'

LONDON - British Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the situation in Gaza "intolerable" on Monday, saying the government was working with allies to coordinate a response to the conflict.

"It's a really serious, unacceptable, intolerable situation, and that's why we are working intensely to coordinate with other leaders on how we respond to this," Starmer told reporters. 

Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission president, said on Monday that the humanitarian situation in Gaza was "unacceptable" and called for aid to reach civilians in the Palestinian territory immediately.

"For two months now, no humanitarian supplies have entered Gaza. Aid must reach civilians in need immediately and the blockade on Gaza must be lifted now," she told reporters during a visit to London.
