ISTANBUL (AA) - British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced on Friday that the UK will evacuate children who need urgent medical aid in Gaza.

"The UK will pull every lever we have to get food and lifesaving support to Palestinians, and we will evacuate children who need urgent medical assistance," Starmer wrote on X, reaffirming that they will bring them to the UK for specialist medical treatment.

He called the "appalling scenes" in Gaza "unrelenting," while stressing that the denial of aid to children and babies is "completely unjustifiable."

"It is a humanitarian catastrophe, and it must end," Starmer noted.
