Gaza: Electricity

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what representations they are making to the government of Israel and the UN concerning the restoration of electricity supplies to Gaza.

The UK is in regular discussion with Israel, the Palestinian Authority (PA), the UN and the EU about Gaza’s energy crisis. We are not aware of a decrease in electricity supply from Israel.
