Sunak and Guterres agree on the need to increase humanitarian aid to Gaza
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's office said on Thursday that Sunak and United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres agreed on the need to increase the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza, according to what Reuters reported.
The two leaders met on the sidelines of their attendance at the last day's talks of the Artificial Intelligence Safety Summit at Bletchley Park in England.
The Prime Minister's spokesman added: "The two leaders... discussed the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza and agreed on the importance of accelerating the increase in the delivery of life-saving humanitarian aid."
He continued: “The Prime Minister and the Secretary-General also agreed on the need to revitalize international efforts to reach a lasting solution to the conflict and make progress towards a two-state solution.”
According to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, the death toll of Palestinians in the Strip rose to 9,061, including 3,760 children and 2,326 women, while the number of injured rose to more than 32,000, as a result of Israel’s attacks since the seventh of last October.
The government media office in Gaza said that the Israeli army has dropped 10,000 bombs since the start of its attacks on the Gaza Strip, and estimates that the amount of explosives dropped exceeds 25,000 tons, which means about 70 tons per square kilometer.
