Foreign Secretary David Lammy has thanked the US administration after aiding in a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Gaza.

Lammy said: "Finally, this horror has come to an end. This is the moment now to get the humanitarian aid in, to support those many, many, many people who have found the last 14 months so horrendous.

"And of course, to begin the reconstruction. And I thank the United States, both administrations, for what they have been able to achieve alongside the work of the Qataris and the Egyptians."
