Aid agencies are working to address the serious humanitarian situation in Gaza. However, the priority is to reopen the crossings and ensure unrestricted humanitarian access, including the supply of medical equipment, fuel, food and electricity. I have allocated £2 million to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) which provides water, sanitation, food, medicines and shelter. This is in addition to our wider contribution to the Palestinians of £243 million over three years, linked to political progress.
