Australia is putting in an extra $15 million in humanitarian relief for Gaza as the foreign minister continues to call for a safe passage for innocents out of the besieged strip.
Recent humanitarian aid into Gaza - where Israel is enforcing a blockade on fuel and supplies - was welcome but not enough, Foreign Minister Penny Wong told a Senate hearing on Thursday.
"We are deeply distressed that international efforts to secure civilian passage out of Gaza and efforts Australia has engaged in and is actively supporting are yet to be successful," she added.
