Israel must now agree to an immediate humanitarian ceasefire

Israel’s assault on aid workers shows just how extreme the situation in Gaza has become. Even those who are trying to bring any kind of relief to starving and desperate civilians aren’t safe – despite international law insisting that these people should be given protection and assistance.
Israel calls these atrocities “accidents”. But, to me, it is completely criminal and inhumane – and Israel needs to be held to account immediately.
It is an absolutely pathetic and empty gesture for the UK government to merely insist that Israel investigate... itself! Instead, they should be demanding an immediate humanitarian ceasefire to save innocent lives, before more are lost.
