Introduce UK-led humanitarian aid sea corridor for navy-escorted aid to Gaza
Background
We call on the UK Government to lead a Navy-escorted humanitarian sea corridor to deliver food and aid directly to Gaza, where famine is confirmed by the IPC. Britain should act with an international coalition, as we believe history will remember inaction that caused preventable deaths.
Additional details
Gaza is in famine, confirmed by the IPC, and the ICJ found that Palestinians in Gaza have plausible rights under the Genocide convention, and ordered Israel to ensure and facilitate unimpeded aid. Current routes can fail under Israeli clearance, and we urge Parliament to back a UK Navy-escorted humanitarian sea corridor from Cyprus direct to Gaza, with third-party inspections.
