International Development - Lebanon, Gaza and Sudan

I have been working hard to shine a light on the humanitarian crises in the world.

Lebanon

In the House of Commons I raised concerns with the Minister for International Development about cuts to UK aid to Lebanon which reduces UK’s capacity for responding to humanitarian crises.

Gaza

With the continued escalation of conflict in the region, in a Westminster Hall debate I urged the UK Government to increase humanitarian support and aid into Gaza. I have asked the Minister for an update on steps that are being taken to ensure aid is increased, particularly with the forthcoming winter months. 

I also asked the Minister for an update discussions with UNRWA, and the latest level of UK Official development assistance (ODA) provided to support the Palestinian Authority.  

Sudan

The ongoing war and humanitarian crisis in Sudan is devastating. I asked the International Development Minister to increase humanitarian assistance and do all it can to bring about a ceasefire.
