UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer will hold an emergency cabinet meeting to discuss a Gaza peace plan and aid response, amid rising pressure to recognize Palestinian statehood.

Aid groups warn Gaza is on the brink of mass starvation, especially among children, and say Israel’s current measures are insufficient. US President Donald Trump has acknowledged “real starvation” in the region, while Israel denies responsibility, BBC reported.

Agencies are urging Israel to fully open border crossings and ensure safe passage for aid convoys.
