<p>As the Foreign Secretary has said, the deaths of people in Gaza waiting for an
aid convoy on 29 February were horrific. We have been clear that an urgent investigation
and accountability are needed, and that this must not happen again.</p><p>We continue
to call for International Humanitarian Law to be respected and civilians to be protected.
A shocking number of civilians have been killed. The Foreign Secretary raised the
above issues with Israeli Minister Benny Gantz on 6 March.</p><p>We are calling on
Israel to increase access for aid through land routes and fully open Ashdod Port,
scale up the Jordan corridor with a streamlined screening and delivery process, open
a crossing in northern Gaza (Karni, Erez or a new crossing point), fully open Ashdod
Port for aid delivery and increase screening capacity at Kerem Shalom and Nitzana
to seven days a week and extended hours.</p>
