Impact of Israel’s ingress into Palestinian territory on maternal care

That this House notes its profound concern over the impact of Israel’s illegal ingress into sovereign Palestinian territory on maternal care; highlights the findings of the UN Independent Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel in which a 41 percent decline in livebirths has been reported in the first half of 2025 when compared to 2022; demands that the Government officially recognises the crimes that are being perpetrated against the Palestinian people by an undemocratic and terrorist Israeli regime; thanks the important work of many surgeons who have worked and continue to work in Gaza, including Nizam Mamode, Nick Maynard, Victoria Rose and Dr Mohammed Mustafa who, alongside the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the Australian Government, is desperately seeking to get a maternity hospital caring for woman and children into Gaza; calls on the Government and Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs to support this endeavour, recognising their moral responsibility to ensure that adequate medical and humanitarian aid reaches the people of Gaza.
