Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment he has made of the potential implications for his policies of the airstrike on Palestinians at a water distribution point at al-Nuseirat refugee camp on 13 July 2025.

Reports of women and children killed while waiting in line for water at al-Nuseirat camp are devastating. We have been clear that civilians in Gaza must be protected from attack and able to access aid without fear.

No one should have to risk their life to get water for themselves or their families, especially after enduring almost two years of relentless conflict.

This is why I called for an immediate and independent inquiry into the incident. We expect those responsible to be held to account and changes made to protect those seeking aid.
