	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2019 answer text <p>I refer the hon. Member to my answer of 2 October (PQ 291575). Our Embassy in Tel Aviv has raised the death of Abd a-Rahman with the Israeli authorities, stressing the importance of protecting civilians, especially children. The British Government is very concerned at the high numbers of Palestinian children killed and injured by Israel Defense Forces in the West Bank and Gaza. We have raised the issue of excessive use of force, including use of live ammunition with both the Office of the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories and the Israeli Ministry of Defense. We will continue to encourage the Israeli authorities to carry out transparent investigations on the use of live fire.</p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 21/10/2019 16:49:11 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2019 answer text <p>The Foreign Secretary has made clear that the Government will seek to assist any British unaccompanied minors and orphans in Syria, who are brought to our attention. The UK has no consular presence within Syria from which to provide assistance, but we carefully consider all requests.</p><p>Our advice to any British national abroad who needs emergency help from the British Government is to contact the nearest British Embassy or Consulate, which in this case will be outside Syria. A request can be made on behalf of a minor. British nationals can also call the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) in London 24 hours a day 7 days a week. The number is clearly advertised on FCO Syria Travel Advice pages.</p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 21/10/2019 16:44:15 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison
