|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”.

It comes after weeks of warnings by aid groups that restrictions on aid were leading to starvation among Palestinians.

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