Speaking in the House of Commons on 24 February 2026

Debate

Gaza Healthcare System

Contribution

I absolutely agree. War is traumatic on so many different levels, and mental health is a key part of holistic care and must be covered in any rebuilding of the healthcare system. We also need to start to look at training people in the Gaza strip and the occupied territories, because it is better to train them than to import them.
