answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2023 answer text <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> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 20/11/2023 16:09:24 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley
