Gaza: Humanitarian Situation

Contribution

I welcome the Minister’s statement and the promise of the further £5 million. The devastating flooding in Gaza has compounded the intolerable suffering of the Palestinians. Israel’s continued obstruction of humanitarian aid, including vital flood relief materials, is indefensible. When will the Minister and the Government not simply ask for but demand the immediate entry of emergency shelters, drainage equipment and flood relief supplies, press Israel to remove all restrictions on humanitarian access and work with international partners to establish a funded, long-term reconstruction programme to prevent further avoidable suffering?
