JAKARTA - Britain has promised humanitarian assistance worth 4 million (equivalent to Rp. 87 billion) for Gaza. International pressure on Israel increased due to the blockade of humanitarian aid to Gaza has not been opened.

"The failure of the Israeli government to allow full humanitarian access to aid workers is very disgusting. Too few trucks cross into Gaza," British Development Minister Jenny Chapman visited Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories.

"The UK firmly states - Israel will not achieve security by prolonging the suffering of the Palestinian people," added Chapman.

Britain on Tuesday, May 20, temporarily suspended free trade negotiations with Israel over its new offensive in Gaza, while foreign minister David Lemmy called for an end to the aid blockade.

The British Red Cross will receive a new aid package and send it through the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, the UK said.
