HUMANITARIAN SITUATION IN GAZA

That this House expresses grave concerns about the humanitarian situation in Gaza and the decision by the State of Israel to declare it a hostile entity; notes that this included further isolating the 1.5 million Palestinian residents of this occupied territory, 1.1 million of whom have to survive on food handouts; also notes that future Israeli measures could involve cutting off crucial supplies including food, fuel, electricity and water in response to the firing of Kassams from Gaza; and therefore calls upon the UK Government to make the strongest possible representations to the Israeli government that such measures are wholly unacceptable and tantamount to collective punishment and a breach of the Fourth Geneva Convention.
