answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/03/2020 answer text <p>There are currently <del class="ministerial">no</del> <ins class="ministerial">two </ins>known cases of COVID-19 in Gaza. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has delivered essential equipment such as lab testing kits and personal protective equipment and has used DFID-funded Trauma Stabilisation Tents to quarantine suspected COVID-19 patients at the Rafah border crossing. UN agencies are supporting further measures such as the establishment of a field hospital and the creation of a medical checkpoint at the Erez border crossing.</p><p>A widespread outbreak of the virus could overwhelm Gaza’s already overburdened health system - especially given the lack of reliable access to clean water and energy in the strip. We continue to monitor the situation and are working closely with the UN and the international community to ensure agencies are ready to respond to an outbreak.</p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 25/03/2020 16:25:19 question first ministerially corrected 26/03/2020 17:26:12 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly previous answer version 14688 answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly
