- United Kingdom
Britain's foreign minister said on Monday that she welcomed the reopening of Gaza's main border crossing in Rafah, which will allow Palestinians to cross in both directions on foot, but emphasised that much more still needed to be done.
"I welcome Rafah reopening for people to cross both ways on foot, allowing some in desperate need to access medical care in Egypt," Yvette Cooper said on X. "But much more still needs to be done.
"Aid must flow in, restrictions on essential supplies must ease, and aid workers must be allowed to operate."
