Text
There are a lot of aspects of the Sinn Féin motion that I wish I had time to deal with, but I will be able to cover only a few. It quotes figures from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). The figures that Sinn Féin uses are taken from the office's briefing paper. First, let me get on the record that there has been an absolutely appalling loss of life in Gaza and Israel — I will come back to that later. Clarity and transparency, however, are important. Those figures that from the OCHA and that were quoted by the Members opposite come directly from the Hamas-run Ministry of Health.
