<p>We deplore the loss of life in both Israel and Gaza during the recent exchange
of rocket fire. We remain deeply concerned about the humanitarian situation in Gaza,
and remain a committed and leading supporter of the UN Refugees and Works Agency for
Palestinian refugees (UNRWA). The UK also recognise that Israel has the right to protect
itself from indiscriminate Hamas rocket attacks on Israeli communities. The UK welcomes
the announcement of a ceasefire and recognises the vital role played by the UN and
Egypt in securing it.</p>
