The ongoing conflict in Gaza has led to a severe humanitarian crisis, with the World Health Organization and United Nations reporting appalling sanitary conditions, including an average of one toilet for every 500 people and one shower for every two thousand, raising the risk of epidemic spread. Doctors Without Borders and local doctors have highlighted the lack of safe places to treat patients and the rise of diseases like Hepatitis-A due to unsanitary conditions. Amidst the collapse of waste collection and healthcare systems, there is an increasing spread of diseases, and hospitals are unable to provide normal health services, with some having to perform surgeries without anesthetic. The international community, including the UK and UN Secretary-General António Guterres, has called for an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages, and the recognition of Palestinian statehood. David Lammy, UK's Shadow Foreign Secretary, has criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's rejection of a two-state solution as 'unacceptable', stating that 'Palestinian statehood is not in the gift of a neighbour'. He also highlighted the dire consequences of the conflict, with over 23,000 people dead and 60,000 wounded and maimed, and reiterated Labour's commitment to recognizing Palestine and working towards a two-state solution.

The refusal to accept the two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians, and the denial of the right to statehood for the Palestinian people, are unacceptable. The right of the Palestinian people to build their own state must be recognized by all.
