Baroness Chapman of Darlington (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 26 November 2024

Debate

International Aid Workers: Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories

Contribution

My Lords, I am honestly not interested in having a big discussion about blame at this stage. Some 40% of the population of Gaza are under 15. I do not think that it is wrong to talk about starvation, when that is what is going to happen if aid does not get in. Aid not getting in is not a logistical problem; with regard to visas, it is a political problem—and it is a political problem that we as the UK Government want to do everything we can to see resolved.
