Two teenage sisters are among the British citizens still missing following Hamas’s attacks on Israel as efforts continue to prevent a humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
He told the paper: “We want the British government to take some action to at least find out what happened. We don’t know if they were kidnapped but if we come to that point we will be happy if they try to do whatever they can to bring those girls back.” In a Commons statement on Monday, Mr Sunak said he recognised the Palestinian people are “victims of Hamas too” as he announced an extra £10 million of aid funding.
With the families of some of the missing watching his statement in Parliament, Mr Sunak said more than 1,400 people were murdered, more than 3,500 wounded and almost 200 taken hostage in Hamas’s attack.“We should call it by its name: it was a pogrom.”
