Gaza: Humanitarian Aid

Asked by Alan GemmellLabourForeign, Commonwealth and Development OfficeTabled Answered 18 June 2026UIN 8384

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment she has made of trends in the level of aid entering Gaza on a daily basis; and what steps her Department is taking to increase the flow of aid.

Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer

I refer the Hon Member to the statement made to the House by the Foreign Secretary on 9 June, where - in setting out the action being taken by the UK in response to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza - she said that barely half the level of the 4,200 trucks a week promised in the 20-point Peace Plan are currently entering Gaza.
