Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what representations they have made to the government of Israel on the opening of the Rafah and Kerem Shalom crossings to allow aid into Gaza.

We have been clear that entry points for humanitarian aid, including Rafah and Kerem Shalom, must be reopened quickly to allow aid in. Israel must facilitate immediate uninterrupted humanitarian access in the south, including the entry of fuel.

The Foreign Secretary has pressed these points with Israeli Foreign Minister Katz.
