Cooper visits Jordan in quest to boost Gaza aid
Western Daily Press
|November 03, 2025
THE Foreign Secretary will travel to Jordan today as she calls for more aid to reach Gaza, following last month's tentative ceasefire in the Palestinian territory.
Yvette Cooper has announced the UK would provide an extra £6 million of humanitarian support for Gaza, in the form of sexual and reproductive healthcare for women and girls provided by the United Nations Population Fund. She is also expected to visit a warehouse where UK-supplied aid remains stuck, waiting to enter Gaza, despite the truce agreed between Israel and Hamas.
Ms Cooper said: “Essential UK aid, including food and shelter supplies, have been stuck in warehouses for months on end. The people of Gaza cannot afford to wait.
“No woman or girl should die unnecessarily in pregnancy when she could be helped, be left at risk of sexual violence, or suffer the indignity of being unable to manage her period.”
