Stephen raises the plight of children in Gaza
Stephen has asked the Minister for International Development what the government is doing about the “appalling” loss of life amongst children in Gaza.
Since 7 October, Israel’s bombardment of Gaza has killed over 8,000 Palestinians – and over 40% of them have been children. Over a million people have been forcibly displaced, nearly half of Gaza’s entire population.
In the House of Commons, Stephen asked the Minister for International Development: “The Minister referred in his statement to the appalling loss of life among children, and I was pleased that my right hon. Friend the Member for Tottenham (Mr Lammy) pressed him on that specifically because so many of my constituents are concerned about it. As things stand, will that appalling loss of life not simply carry on? What are the Government doing to bring it to some kind of conclusion?”
