This month I was selected for a question at PMQs. The horrifying scenes and avoidable loss of life in Gaza are truly appalling. I have consistently called and voted for a ceasefire on both sides to bring an immediate end to the IDF’s killing of innocent women and children.

That is why I used my opportunity to highlight the continued plight faced by Palestinians and what steps the government is taking. Please read my question at PMQs here:

I watched in horror and condemned the act of 7 October by the terrorist group Hamas. A year later, I watch in horror as 42,000 people are killed in Gaza, 11,000 of them children. People have been burned alive attached to drips, aid workers have been killed and now families are starving. Our right hon. Friend the Prime Minister has said that the world will not stand by and see the lack of humanitarian assistance. If the Israeli Government will not listen to our Prime Minister’s words, what tangible, measurable actions will we take as the UK Government?
