<p>This is a horrific incident. It must be fully and transparently investigated by
the Israeli authorities. We have consistently stressed the need for Israel to ensure
effective deconfliction in Gaza and to take all possible measures to limit its operations
to military targets, avoid harming civilians and ensure the safety of medical personnel
and facilities. We continue to engage with the Government of Israel at the most senior
levels. The most important step in protecting civilians and particularly children
will be securing a sustainable ceasefire. That is why the UK has been consistent in
calling for an immediate pause, that then progresses towards a sustainable, permanent
ceasefire, without a return to destruction, fighting and loss of life.</p>
