Britain called for an “immediate halt to all violence” in Gaza today as airstrikes by Israel resumed for a second day.
British Foreign Secretary David Miliband said an "urgent ceasefire" was needed to stop the "massive loss of life" in the territory.
He insisted that Tel Aviv must abide by its "humanitarian obligations", and said he and Prime Minister Gordon Brown were following the situation with "grave concern".
The statement came as fears grew that Israel could launch a ground offensive into the Gaza Strip in a bid to prevent militants firing rockets.
