Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Collins of Highbury on 25 July (HL9514), what assessment they have made of the current availability and supply of humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza.

The humanitarian situation in Gaza remains appalling, and it is vital that - as part of the US-led peace initiative - we see the urgent resumption of unrestricted aid flows into Gaza, at the volume and pace required to meet the scale of the crisis. The UK has provided £139.5 million in humanitarian funding in response to the conflict in Gaza, with a further £60 million of humanitarian funding allocated so far this financial year.
