Debate

Gaza: Humanitarian Situation

Contribution

Like myself, my constituents in Hyndburn and Haslingden are deeply concerned about the situation in Gaza, with 950,000 displaced people urgently in need of aid. Unlike the Conservatives, I am very proud that we have committed £88 million to support the Palestinian territories and an extra £5 million today. Could the Minister say more about the expansion of the global human rights regime and how that might help to get the aid into Gaza that is so desperately needed?
