UK urges independent probe into deaths near Gaza aid site, calls new aid mechanism ‘inhumane’

The UK government calls for an “immediate and independent investigation” into a string of deadly incidents at aid distribution sites in the Gaza Strip this week.

Middle East Minister Hamish Falconer says the deaths of Palestinians as they allegedly sought food are “deeply disturbing,” as he calls Israel’s new measures for aid delivery “inhumane.”

The IDF has said it only shot at suspects deemed to be potentially endangering troops, not at civilians.
