Gaza: Humanitarian Situation

Contribution

I welcome the Minister’s statement and condemn the shadow Foreign Secretary’s comments. The situation in Gaza is dire. Flooding has damaged or destroyed thousands of shelters. Heavy rain has disrupted education for around 55,000 children across at least 55 learning spaces, while flooding and damaged infrastructure are putting children’s health, safety and access to basic essentials at serious risk. Enough is enough. What discussions has the Minister had with his American counterparts, who have real influence over the Israeli Government, to try to broker a deal to ensure that aid flows fully into Gaza?
