Sir Keir Starmer has said the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is “intolerable and getting worse” as a Foreign Office minister admitted the Government has not done enough in response. After the Prime Minister faced calls during PMQs to recognise a Palestinian state, Hamish Falconer was heckled by Labour MPs who urged further sanctions against Israel.

Israeli military strikes killed at least 50 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, local health authorities said, in a significant escalation of the bombardment as U.S. President Donald Trump continued his visit to the Middle East.

Jersey's chief minister said he was "absolutely appalled and distressed at the tragic circumstances that continue to unfold in Gaza".
