<p>We have no means of independently assessing the impact of the crisis on medical
services however we are aware of World Health Organisation (WHO) reporting on the
significant impact the crisis is having on the delivery of medical services and wider
aid. The UK continuously assesses needs as part of our humanitarian response in Gaza
and there is an urgent requirement for the entry of significantly more aid. At this
stage, we are focused on getting more aid through the Rafah crossing and other land
routes, which is the most effective way of getting humanitarian support in at scale.
We are also urging Israel to open other border crossings, such as Kerem Shalom, to
enable more humanitarian aid to reach civilians in need. This is still not enough
to meet the immediate needs of the population and we support pauses in hostilities
to improve access to humanitarian assistance for all people in need.</p>
