Israel: UNRWA Ban

Contribution

As the hon. Member for Blackburn (Mr Hussain) said, on Sunday the UN’s top humanitarian official warned: “The entire population of north Gaza is at risk of dying.” I spoke to the United Nations special rapporteur in person last week. He was in absolute despair about the lack of action from the world against what is happening in Gaza. I implore the Minister to give him and the House some reassurance that the Government are actively reviewing how the sanctions are working and what else they can do to force Israel to begin to work under humanitarian law.
