The Tánaiste is to travel to the Rafah border to meet those providing aid and support to 1.7 million Palestinians in Gaza.

Micheál Martin will speak with representatives from the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) when he makes his way to the border crossing between Egypt and Gaza on Tuesday and will meet with staff from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
