The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what discussions she has had with her international counterparts to ensure the movement of more humanitarian aid into Gaza.

Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer

I refer the Hon Member to my statement to the House on 5 January, and the joint statement on humanitarian access issued by the Foreign Secretary and a number of her international counterparts on 30 December 2025, which can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/jointstatementon-the-gaza-humanitarian-response. Support for the wellbeing of children and young people in Gaza will continue to be one of the top priorities of our humanitarian support.
