Gaza: Casualties
- Question
-
To ask the Deputy Foreign Secretary, what estimate his Department has made of the number of (a) women and (b) children killed in Gaza since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war.
- Answer
-
The situation in Gaza is desperate and too many civilians have been killed, including women and children. The fastest way to end the conflict is to secure a deal which gets the hostages out and allows for a pause in the fighting in Gaza. We must then work with our international partners to turn that pause into a sustainable, permanent ceasefire.
