To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact on the human rights of Palestinians of (1) the restrictions placed on Gaza by the government of Israel, and (2) Israeli military activity in Gaza.

The UK will continue to raise the issue of freedom of movement and access into and out of the Occupied Palestinian Territories, including for emergency services, with the Israeli authorities. These restrictions undermine economic development and living standards for ordinary Palestinians in Gaza. We recognise Israel's legitimate need to deploy security measures and we encourage them to deploy these in a way that minimises tension and uses appropriate force.
