Recommendation 9
9
Paragraph: 35
Prioritise averting famine by ensuring sufficient food aid reaches Gaza through streamlined entry and open crossings.
Conclusion
The UK Government must make it an absolute priority to avoid famine by getting sufficient amounts of food aid into Gaza, as measured by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC). This will give certainty to the population there, which will ease other issues, including improving security for aid workers and disincentivising illicit market activity. This entails Israel opening up existing crossings, providing a more streamlined entry system and communicating about why goods are being returned.
