question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their assessment of how civilians in Gaza can best be protected.
tabling member printed	Baroness Uddin
uin	HL1520
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/08/2014 answer text The UK is deeply concerned by the high levels of civilian casualties. We have called on all those involved in the current crisis to avoid any action which risks civilian casualties in line with humanitarian law. The Government assesses that civilians can best be protected through the agreement of an immediate ceasefire that ends the current bloodshed, opens up humanitarian access, and allows displaced people to return to their homes. The British Government is working closely with international partners in order to secure this goal. answering member printed Baroness Warsi question first answered 04/08/2014 10:45:33 answering member 3839 label Biography information for Baroness Warsi
