Yvette Cooper has urged Israeli authorities to "change course" and urgently increase aid access to Gaza, after revealing Palestinian children had tragically "frozen to death" in the escalating humanitarian crisis. Chairing a UN Security Council meeting on Wednesday, the Foreign Secretary called for immediate action to address the "catastrophic humanitarian situation" there.
Ms Cooper painted a grim picture of civilian life, stating: "Families repeatedly displaced are spending this winter desperately seeking shelter amidst the rubble, without electricity, without water supplies or health care. Children have frozen to death and died while waiting for medical evacuations. This is unconscionable, and crucially, it is preventable."
