The new foreign secretary has met political leaders and families of hostages held in Gaza during a trip to Israel.
David Lammy has said he hopes to see a hostage deal emerge 'in the coming days' and called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza during his first trip to Israel and the Palestinian territories as foreign secretary. The newly-appointed minister met Israeli President Isaac Herzog on Monday after having talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority PM Mohammad Mustafa on Sunday.
The medical aid charity sends experienced humanitarian medics, including those working in the NHS, to crisis-hit regions. The funding will be used to support the ongoing work of its field hospitals and the emergency department at Nasser Hospital. Mr Lammy's visit comes after Israel's latest strike on Gaza, which killed at least 90 people in the south of the territory.
