David Cameron: Gaza is a a prison camp



David Cameron yesterday launched a blistering attack on Israel over its crippling blockade of Gaza.



He accused officials of turning the disputed territory into a prison camp and demanded provisions be allowed in.



In a speech to Turkish business leaders, the PM said: \"Humanitarian goods and people must flow in both directions.



\"Gaza cannot and must not be allowed to remain a prison camp.\"



Turkey has felt the full force of Israeli brutality. Nine nationals died when special forces raided a flotilla carrying emergency aid to Gaza in May. Quizzed later on his comments, Mr Cameron insisted the prison description was warranted.



He said: \"The fact is we have long supported lifting the blockade and long supported proper humanitarian access.\"



But the PM called on Turkey to stop supporting Iran with its refusal to back sanctions on Tehran over its nuclear weapons programme. Turkey was one of only two countries to vote against a new round of UN action against Iran.
