Gaza: Food Aid

Question: To ask His Majesty's Government what has been the cost in the year to date of their contribution by way of donation of food, or money to purchase food, to alleviate starvation in Gaza.

Answer: On 21 July, the UK announced £60 million in humanitarian aid this financial year, with a further £15 million of humanitarian support announced on 1 September, to support the provision of healthcare, food and water. All allocations of our Humanitarian Programme are available publicly on Development Tracker. We call for Israel to immediately allow the unrestricted flow of aid into Gaza, enabling food, medical supplies and fuel to reach those in desperate need.
