Proceeding contribution from Lord Hannay of Chiswick (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 23 October 2023. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Israel and Gaza.


Israel and Gaza

My Lords, would the Leader of the House say a few words of gratitude and admiration, which I hope would be in the name of the whole House, for the work of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency? It is reported that some 17 from that agency have lost their lives in Gaza. They are working day and night, in Gaza and of course in the West Bank, and it would be good if we could send them a message of support. The £20 million announced today is of course enormously welcome, but is that the final word or will a revisiting of that be possible if this crisis, alas, continues?
