	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/09/2020 answer text <p>We are concerned by the reports of a recent demolition of a COVID-19 testing centre in Hebron. We have not to date made representations on this particular case but have repeatedly made clear to the Israeli authorities our view that demolitions, in all but the most exceptional of circumstances, are contrary to International Humanitarian Law. The UK is providing vital support to help respond to COVID-19 in the OPTs. Our $1 million funding contribution will enable the World Health Organization and UNICEF to purchase and co-ordinate the delivery of medical equipment, treat critical care patients, train frontline public health personnel and scale up laboratory testing capacity.</p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 01/09/2020 11:41:10 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly
