That this House welcomes the work of the
European Campaign to End the Siege on Gaza in arranging a
delegation of over 60 parliamentarians from 13 European
countries to visit Gaza 15-16 January 2010; notes this
tangible act of solidarity with the 1.5 million people
living under siege with constant shortages of food,
medicine, water and electricity which is causing
irreversible damage to the health and social wellbeing of
Gazan children, adults and elderly people; calls for the
lifting of the siege through the reopening of all border
crossings to allow people to move freely and all necessary
supplies, including for reconstruction, to reach those in
desperate need; further calls upon the European Union to
observe the human rights clauses of the Trade Association
Agreements; and further calls on the UK Government
vigorously to support the findings of the Goldstone Report
on the UN Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza conflict and to
ensure that the perpetrators of war crimes during Operation
Cast Lead should be held to account.
