I refer the hon. Member to the Statement on Gaza made by the then Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon. Friend the Member for Richmond (Yorks) (Mr Hague) to the House on 14 July 2014, Official Report, columns 581-3.

As of the morning of 16 July, it is reported that 197 Palestinian civilians have been killed in Gaza and up to 1,265 injured since Israel started Operation Protective Edge. The UN estimates that 77% of those killed are civilians.
