Declaration of famine in Gaza 'utterly horrifying'

|August 23, 2025
FOREIGN Secretary David Lammy has described the declaration of famine in Gaza City as “utterly horrifying” as he accused the Israeli government of causing a “man-made catastrophe”.

“The Israeli government's refusal to allow sufficient aid into Gaza has caused this man-made catastrophe.
