Gaza: Humanitarian Situation

Contribution

Before I ask my question, Madam Deputy Speaker, I will let you and the House know that James Thomas Campbell from my constituency was killed at the weekend in the terrible attacks in Krakow—the only British victim. I thank the Minister for the support his Department is giving the family. I am sure the whole House will want to pass on their condolences to Mr Campbell’s family. Voters in Central Ayrshire are deeply concerned about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the recent deadly storms affecting many tens of thousands of people. What they do not want to hear is infantile comments from the shadow Foreign Secretary slurring members of this Government. I am delighted that my hon. Friend the Member for Cowdenbeath and Kirkcaldy (Melanie Ward) is in government, bringing to bear all her experience of the situation. Will the Minister assure my constituents and the House that he is doing all he can, with her help, to get that vital aid into Gaza?
