answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/11/2017 answer text <p>The Gaza Reconstruction Mechanism (GRM) has been successful in importing construction materials to facilitate the reconstruction of buildings damaged during the 2014 conflict. Over 170,000 people have been able to carry out repairs and over 14,000 fully or partially damaged homes have been rebuilt. UN reports assess that the GRM has been less successful in facilitating the import of other “dual-use” materials; and that it is critical that the import of more “dual-use” items is simplified and expedited in order to facilitate larger infrastructure projects. A more comprehensive lifting of restrictions on materials entering Gaza, as part of a political agreement, is the only long-term solution.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 09/11/2017 10:42:16 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
