Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt — October 13, 2025: British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is set to announce a £20 million ($26.7 million) humanitarian aid package for Gaza at a peace summit taking place in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, on Monday, according to a statement from his office on Sunday.

The aid forms part of a broader UK humanitarian commitment and will be directed toward restoring essential water, sanitation, and hygiene infrastructure in Gaza, which has suffered extensive destruction following two years of violent conflict.

The summit, jointly chaired by U.S. President Donald Trump and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, comes just days after a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, marking what many hope will be a turning point in efforts to stabilize the region.

“Today is the first, crucial phase of ending this war, and now we must deliver the second phase, in full,” Starmer is expected to say during his address, according to a Downing Street press release.

In addition, the United Kingdom announced plans to host a three-day international conference focused on Gaza’s long-term recovery and reconstruction. Although a date has yet to be confirmed, the conference will bring together representatives from Germany, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the Palestinian Authority, as well as members of the private sector and global financial institutions.

Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper emphasized the importance of international cooperation in rebuilding Gaza, stating: “The ceasefire gives us the opportunity not just to urgently scale up humanitarian efforts but also to look to the future of Gaza’s recovery.”

She added that the UK intends to play a “crucial part” in the process by mobilizing global partners and leveraging investment and expertise from the City of London to support the reconstruction of Gaza’s devastated infrastructure.
