BANGOR ABERCONWY MP Claire Hughes has called for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza strip and the "unimpeded" delivery of aid to Palestinians.
Yesterday, the World Health Organization said malnutrition in Gaza had reached "alarming levels", with UN aid chief Tom Fletcher saying the next few days were "make or break" for starving civilians.
Claire Hughes MP has called on Israel to allow for the unimpeded entry of aid into Gaza, as well for the end of killing of civilians and an immediate ceasefire.
The MP said she had written to Foreign Secretary David Lammy and echoed Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's call for a ceasefire and a two-state solution.
In a statement on social media, Ms Hughes MP said: "The suffering in Gaza is nothing short of a living nightmare.
"Like many colleagues, I have again written to the Foreign Secretary this week and the UK Prime Minister has issued the statement below this evening.
"We need an immediate ceasefire, unimpeded delivery of aid, and for the killing of innocent, starving civilians to stop.

"A two-state solution is the only path to peace."
In response to constituents on social media, Ms Hughes said the UK government's efforts to secure a ceasefire had "very clearly failed".
She said that "despite intense diplomatic effort the Israeli government simply is not listening".
Ms Hughes MP added: "I know this is something that every Labour member from the PM down, regrets to the bottom of their heart.
"But it is not for a lack of effort or for any disregard for the plight of the Palestinian people.
"Of course we all wish that more could have been done, sooner - and that this would have made a difference."
Ms Hughes had previously abstained on voting for the proscription of Palestine Action, which was designated a terrorist group for spraying graffiti on planes at RAF Brize Norton in June.
