Govt must act to get essential aid to Gaza

TODAY in the Dail, the Labour Party will ask the Government to use every lever at its disposal to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza through a UN-mandated peacekeeping force.

More than 55,000 people - including 15,000 children - have been killed in Gaza since October 2023, and a further 290,000 children are on the brink of death.

Words fail to describe the wickedness of using starvation as a weapon of war against children. But that is what's happening in Gaza as Israel continues to inflict unthinkable horror on the people of Palestine.

History will remember our actions, not our words.
