The White House National Security spokesman John Kirby said on Monday about Gaza that “aid has increased and quite dramatically in just the last few days”. But the key problem preventing that aid getting to the civilians who need it is Hamas, who has sought to hijack aid trucks and seeks to cynically use the distribution of aid as a political weapon. So Greg Smith MP questioned the Minister earlier on what assessment the UK Government has made of the level of control exercised by Hamas on UNRWA and the distribution of said aid.
