Britain's Absolute Attitude Against Ceasefire In Gaza Declines Criticism
JAKARTA - Save the Children on Friday criticized the British government for being abstained in voting at the UN Security Council over a ceasefire in Gaza.
The royal-based charity said its government was involved in the dire situation children in Gaza will face.
In an upload on X, SavetheChildren said Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and the British government were again "ignoring" Gaza's children.
"By not voting for #CeasefireNOW at the UN Security Council, Britain is involved in the horror that children will experience in the next few hours, days and weeks," he said, as reported by Antara.
Britain chose abstain, while the United States vetoed a UN Security Council resolution draft on Friday demanding an immediate ceasefire to stop bloodshed in the Gaza Strip.
