UK foreign secretary urges Israel says ‘no excuse’ for blocking aid

The UK’s Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper has said Israel has “no excuse” for delaying aid to Palestinians in Gaza and called for a Jordanian route to be opened from a warehouse full of aid intended for Gaza in the country.

“In this warehouse alone, there is enough wheat to feed 700,000 people for a month, and yet we still have children in Gaza going hungry. This is just wrong,” Cooper told Channel 4 in an interview.

Cooper has been visiting several countries in the Middle East.
