The UK has dropped more aid into Gaza today - bringing the total amount dropped in by parachute to more than 100 tonnes. Twelve tonnes of ready-to-eat meals, water, rice, tinned goods and flour were dropped along Gaza's northern coastline on pallets attached to parachutes by RAF and British Army personnel from A400M transport planes.
Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron said delivering aid by air was essential but the full amount of aid needed can only be delivered into Gaza by land. 'We continue to pressure Israel to fully open Ashdod Port as well as more land crossings,' he said. Despite Israel saying it reopened the key entry point of Kerem Shalom in southern Gaza on Wednesday, the UN said no aid has entered Gaza and there is no one to receive it on the Palestinian side because of ongoing fighting.
