HC Deb 13 November 2003 vol 413 c449W
Dr. Tonge

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made to the Israeli Government concerning the destruction of the shipment of vitamins meant for children in the Gaza Strip sent by The Holy Land Trust, Rabbis for Human Rights and the Palestine Children's Welfare Fund. [136783]

Mr. Rammell

We have not made representations to the Israeli Government about the specific shipment referred to. We have not been able to establish the fate of the shipment. But we continue to discuss with the Government of Israel the general humanitarian impact of its policies and the importance of unfettered access to humanitarian aid throughout the Occupied Territories.
