PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(6 January 2025)

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent discussions he has had with his Israeli counterparts on their commitments to ensure aid delivery into Gaza.

Asked by:
Wendy Morton (Conservative)

The UK has made repeatedly clear to the Israeli authorities the need to improve aid delivery and increase the variety and volume of goods reaching Gaza. The Foreign Secretary made this clear in a call with Israeli Foreign Minister Sa'ar on 8 December. I have raised the dire situation in northern Gaza with both the Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister and the Israeli Ambassador to the UK on several occasions, most recently on 3 January. As I made clear to Parliament on 7 January, the scale of human suffering is unimaginable. We have been clear that this is a man-made crisis and Israel must act immediately to address it.
