The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what plans her Department has to help ensure the safety of UK citizens on board the Global Sumud Flotilla.

Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office advises against all travel to Gaza. Palestine travel advice - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk). Delivering aid on the scale needed can only be done properly and safely through the well-established land routes. We continue to urge Israel to allow sufficient aid into Gaza in line with minimum targets set out in the 20 point plan.
