Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of reports by Physicians for Human Rights that (1) seriously ill Palestinians, and (2) those injured by Israeli forces, are dying because they are prevented from receiving medical care.

We are aware of such reports. Our Embassy in Tel Aviv regularly raises the importance of the Israel security force's adherence to the principles of necessity and proportionality when defending its legitimate security interest. The wounded or critically ill should be able to access the urgent medical care they need.
