Sinn Féin MLA, Declan Kearney, has said the Northern Executive should play its part in assisting sick and injured children from Gaza who are in need of urgent medical treatment.
The Sinn Féin chairperson said: “The humanitarian emergency in Gaza is beyond anything witnessed in recent times. Starvation, malnutrition and denial of access to both water and basic medicines are being systematically used against children, women and men throughout the Gaza Strip.
“Our power sharing Executive should assist in the efforts to evacuate sick and injured children from Gaza.
“These children are in desperate need of urgent medical treatment as a result of the ongoing genocidal actions of an out-of-control Israeli government.
“I understand the First Minister has agreed to an urgent procedure request from the health Minister to participate in this humanitarian effort.”
The South Antrim MLA added: “The inhumane blockade must end immediately and an unprecedented flood of humanitarian aid must be allowed to enter the Strip.
“The siege of Gaza must end now.”
