Palestinian death toll mounts in continued Israeli bombardment of besieged Gaza as Israel's war on the enclave continues for the 13th consecutive day.
Machinery to repair roads has been sent through the Rafah border crossing from Egypt into Gaza in preparation for the delivery of some of the aid stockpiled in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, two security sources have said.
"We will stand with you in solidarity with your people and your right to defend yourself, to bring security back to your country to your people, to ensure the safe return of the hostages that have been taken," Sunak said in a televised part of the meeting."Palestinians are victims of what Hamas has done. It's important that we continue to provide humanitarian access," he said.
Australian government minister Ed Husic has accused Israel of collectively punishing Palestinians in its war on Hamas. Potentially life-saving humanitarian aid is expected to arrive in Palestine's Israel-besieged Gaza under an agreement reached by the US, Egypt and Israel. Israel, which holds the Rafah gate from Palestine's side, separately said on Wednesday that it gave the green light for a limited flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza.A number of Palestinians have been killed by an Israeli air strike on a house close to a school sheltering displaced people in southern Gaza.
Bandaged and caked in dust, the bodies were brought to the Gaza European Hospital in Khan Younis along with three other dead members of the Bakri family. Photographers swarmed the operation room as wo men covered their eyes and doctors wept. Israeli forces also shot dead two Palestinian teenagers in the occupied West Bank during protests, Palestinian officials said, while WAFA news agency said Israeli forces killed a Palestinian man in the West Bank village of Budrus.At least 13 civilians have been killed and over a dozen others wounded in an Israeli air strike that targeted a house in the town of Jabalia, north of Gaza, Palestine's official news agency reported.
The two leaders also agreed on the need to preserve stability in the Middle East and prevent escalation of the conflict, as well as reaffirming their commitment to the two nations' strategic partnership. "Every civilian death is a tragedy. And too many lives have been lost following Hamas’ horrific act of terror," Sunak said in a statement ahead of his visit.
