The United Kingdom on Saturday announced another £8.5 million ($11.4 million) for U.N. aid to Gaza after Israel unveiled plans to occupy Gaza City.
Development Minister Jenny Chapman said the money would "help address urgent need" in Gaza, but only if Israel allowed the region to be "flooded with aid."
She said: "It is unacceptable that so much aid is waiting at the border - the UK is ready to provide more through our partners, and we demand that the government of Israel allows more aid in safely and securely."
"The insufficient amount of supplies getting through is causing appalling and chaotic scenes as desperate civilians try to access tiny amounts of aid," she added.
The money, to be delivered through the U.N.'s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), is part of a £101 million UK commitment to the Occupied Palestinian Territories this year.
