Gaza: Humanitarian Aid

Asked by Dr Ellie ChownsGreen PartyForeign, Commonwealth and Development OfficeTabled Answered 17 September 2025UIN 70005

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether he has had discussions with his Israeli counterpart on a timeframe for improvement on the facilitation of humanitarian aid into Gaza.

Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer

The previous Foreign Secretary spoke to Israeli Foreign Minister Sa'ar on 23 August and he urged the Government of Israel to remove all restrictions on aid entering Gaza and agree to a ceasefire. The UN and humanitarian partners must be allowed to operate safely and independently to deliver aid to those who so desperately need it.
