Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Dykes (Liberal Democrat). It was answered by Lord Tunnicliffe (Labour) on Wednesday, 4 March 2009.
Gaza: Reconstruction
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they will take to bring reconstruction aid into Gaza following the Sharm el-Sheikh conference.
- Answer
-
My Lords, there was broad support at the Sharm el-Sheikh conference for the immediate, unconditional and sustained re-opening of crossings so that Gaza can be rebuilt. The United Nations promoted its new draft framework for humanitarian access. We hope that this will be endorsed at the Ad Hoc Liaison Committee meeting in April, which Israel will attend. The UK Government will continue to press Israel at the highest levels to increase access.
