She explained that her family member in Gaza City died not from a bomb but possibly due to a lack of food or dehydration, and their inability to access necessary medical care.
Moran has previously expressed deep concern for her extended family in Gaza, some of whom had to seek shelter in a church after an Israeli missile struck their home. Elected in 2017, Moran is the UK's first MP of Palestinian descent and serves as the foreign affairs spokesperson for the Liberal Democrats.
In her speech, she emphasized her support for a ceasefire, a two-state solution, and the removal of Hamas from Gaza. She stressed that the situation transcends party politics and is about the broader issues of peace and safety for families in both Gaza and Israel.
Hamas, which governs the Gaza Strip, is considered a terrorist organization by several Western governments, including the UK. The conflict between Israel and Hamas has led to significant casualties on both sides, with over 11,000 people killed in Gaza, including 4,500 children, according to the Hamas-run health ministry, and 46 Israeli soldiers killed in the fighting, as reported by the Israel Defense Forces.
