The first shipment of humanitarian aid has arrived in Gaza via a temporary floating pier, the US military has confirmed.
US Central Command said aid trucks had begun moving ashore at about 09:00 local time (07:00 BST) on Friday.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said 8,400 plastic shelters had been delivered. About 500 tonnes of British aid including tents, hygiene kits and forklift trucks is expected to reach Gaza via the pier, built by US armed forces, in the coming weeks.
However, Mr Sunak said the maritime route was “not the only answer” to the humanitarian crisis in the enclave.
“We need to see more land routes open, including via the Rafah crossing, to ensure much more aid gets safely to civilians in desperate need of help.”
