Gaza: Humanitarian Situation
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the living conditions for Palestinians in Gaza.
- Answer
-
The situation in Gaza remains intolerable. Over 58,000 people have been killed, and 875 people have been killed at or near Gaza Humanitarian Foundation sites, trying to access aid. Over 90 per cent of the population have been displaced, many repeatedly. The recent Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) snapshot report found that the whole of Gaza faces a critical risk of famine, and that half a million people are facing starvation.
The UK is taking steps to help those in need. Through our support at least 647,000 have received food and almost 300,000 people have improved access to water, sanitation and hygiene services.
On 28 April the UK announced a package of support for the Occupied Palestinian Territories, including £101 million for humanitarian aid, support for Palestinian economic development, and strengthening Palestinian Authority governance and reform.
