Debate

Gaza: Humanitarian Situation

Contribution

The hon. Gentleman has already heard what I said about our engagement directly with the Israeli Government in Tel Aviv and here. I can assure him that multiple conversations are going on. I could not be clearer publicly, let alone privately, about what needs to happen. We are conveying that in every way possible and working with international partners. I reassure the hon. Gentleman and other colleagues about the humanitarian funding we are providing to Palestine overall. Of the £78.3 million we already announced, £74.9 million has been disbursed to partners already, including in Gaza and the west bank. I assure him that the work we are doing is making a difference. Given the scale of need that he describes and what we saw at the weekend, so much more needs to get in and so much more needs to be done. That is what we are pressing for.
