Gordon Brown calls for "moderation" in view of Gaza humanitarian crisis London - British Prime Minister Gordon Brown Wednesday called for an urgent ceasefire in view of the "humanitarian crisis" unfolding in Gaza.

"It is vital that moderation must now prevail - there's a humanitarian crisis," said Brown in London. Aid was now getting through to the territory, he added.

His comments followed a statement by Downing Street earlier in the week which said the British government was "appalled" by the violence. (dpa)
