EXTRA government humanitarian aid to help Palestinians survive the “incomprehensible horror” they are facing has been condemned as “pitiful” by the chair of a cross-party Commons committee.

Labour MP Sarah Champion, chair of the cross-party international development committee (IDC), said: “The additional £10m in humanitarian aid the UK is offering for civilians in the Occupied Palestinian Territories is pitiful.
