answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/05/2018 answer text <p>The UK will provide £1.5m humanitarian funding to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) appeal to help improve the capacity of 11 hospitals in Gaza. The UK is working closely with our international partners to monitor the situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territories and ensure a coordinated and effective response to urgent medical needs. UK financial assistance to the Palestinian Authority helps to pay the salaries of vetted health public servants in the West Bank. Last year this support provided up to 3,700 immunisations for children and around 185,000 medical consultations annually. In addition, the UK is a long-term supporter of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which provides basic services, including basic healthcare, to over 800,000 Palestinian refugees in the West Bank and 1.3 million Palestinian refugees in Gaza.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 30/05/2018 17:20:39 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
