Chief Minister writes to UK government about Gaza crisis

The Chief Minister has written to the UK government to voice the Isle of Man's concern over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

In the letter to the Lord Chancellor, the Rt Hon Shabana Mahmood MP, Alfred Cannan says the Isle of Man supports the UK's call for humanitarian relief and to get a ceasefire agreed.

Mr Cannan added he would like to add Manx voices to the many calls for action to bring an end to the suffering.

The letter follows a debate and vote in Tynwald last week and from a joint statement by the United Kingdom and 29 other countries earlier this week.
