Sally Keeble spent the final days before Parliament’s recess lobbying for clear Government support for a ceasefire in Lebanon -and for better access for aid agencies working in the region. Since then she has continued to press for progress in the Middle East.

Sally worked with Milton Keynes based aid agency, World Vision, to table an Early Day Motion (EDM) which was signed by over 30 MPs from all parties. The EDM made her one of the first MPs to take action on this issue, which she thinks is one of the most serious facing the world today.

Since then, the UK has been instrumental in achieving the currentceasefire, but Sally believes the situation needs careful monitoring. She is especially concerned about the upholding of the ceasefire and the continuing problem of delivering aid.
