Gaza: Humanitarian Aid
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether he has had discussions with his Israeli counterpart on incidents between 1 and 3 June 2025 near aid distribution sites in Gaza.
Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer
The humanitarian situation in Gaza remains extremely challenging. We are appalled by repeated reports of mass casualty incidents in which Palestinians have been killed when trying to access aid sites. We call for an immediate and independent investigation into these events, and for the perpetrators to be held to account. The UK will not support any aid mechanism that seeks to deliver political or military objectives or puts vulnerable civilians at risk. We have repeatedly and publicly called on Israel to urgently engage with the UN to ensure a return to delivery of aid in line with humanitarian principles.
