Britain pledged on Wednesday $5.37m in humanitarian aid to Gaza, the government said, as Minister for Development Jenny Chapman visited Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories.
Since 2 March, Israel has enforced a total blockade on Gaza, preventing any food, medical supplies, or goods from entering the besieged enclave.
No aid has reached the besieged enclave since then, despite Israeli claims to the contrary. According to sources who spoke to Middle East Eye, trucks remain stalled on the Palestinian side of the Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) crossing.
Aid organisations have also confirmed that no humanitarian relief has been distributed.
