Gaza: Humanitarian Situation

Contribution

I can absolutely assure my hon. Friend that the absurdity of some of the restrictions is at the heart of the conversations we are having with COGAT, and indeed other authorities. She quite rightly points out the climate aspects of this situation, too. The tragedy is that we knew those conditions were coming, and from previous examples we have seen we knew the impact they could have. Like others, including the United Nations, we issued warnings, and yet that crucial aid and assistance was not able to get in at the necessary levels, and large numbers of tents, tarpaulins and the equipment to put tents up still remain outside Gaza.
