The former Labour leader challenged Mr Burnham on the issue during prime minister’s questions (PMQs) in the Commons.
Mr Corbyn said: “The whole world is appalled and disgusted by what is happening in Gaza, where people are dying for want of food, for want of medicine, dying because of lack of aid and the terrible flood that’s taking place.”
Urging the PM to “ensure that aid gets to Gaza,” Mr Corbyn said if Israel would not deliver the aid “then Britain and other countries” should do so directly.
He also renewed calls for an inquiry into British involvement “in the bombardment of Gaza through the supply of weapons and intelligence information to Israel.”
Mr Burnham acknowledged that the situation in Gaza was “heartbreaking” and said the government was doing “everything that we can to put pressure on the Israeli government to allow the necessary aid into Gaza.”
He ignored Mr Cobyn’s call for a public inquiry.
