My question is to the Prime Minister. Prior to the 7 October terrorist attacks, approximately 15,000 trucks a month delivered essential humanitarian aid, including food, fuel and water, to Gaza. I understand that approximately 2,020 trucks entered Gaza last month—only 13 per cent of previous levels. Many Australians have grave concerns of impending levels of catastrophic food-and-water insecurity and that a famine may soon be declared. What steps within its power is the government taking to ensure essential humanitarian aid, food and water gets to Gaza?
