answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/01/2019 answer text <p>​As the Foreign Secretary made clear in his Written Ministerial Statement on 19 December, the Global Coalition against Daesh has made huge progress. Since military operations began, the Coalition and its partners in Syria and Iraq have recaptured the vast majority of Daesh territory. Important advances have been made in recent weeks in the last area of eastern Syria which Daesh has occupied.</p><p>But much remains to be done in the global campaign against Daesh and we must not lose sight of the threat they pose. Even without territory, Daesh will remain a threat. We remain committed to the Global Coalition and the campaign to deny Daesh territory and ensure its enduring defeat.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 07/01/2019 16:22:31 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/05/2018 answer text <p>We are not aware of an increase in the number of internally displaced persons within Gaza, or an increase in the number of refugees in the region, as a result of the recent violence on the Israel-Gaza border. However, more than 22,500 people remain displaced in Gaza since the 2014 conflict.</p><p> </p><p>The UK is a long term supporter of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) which supports Palestinian refugees across the region, including those displaced in Gaza, through the provision of: basic education to around 500,000 children; health services for around 3 million Palestinian refugees; social assistance for approximately 280,000 of the poorest Palestinian refugees; and a source of income for almost 30,000 refugees working for UNRWA. The UK will deliver its next round of financial support earlier than originally planned to meet the growing needs of Palestinian refugees across the region.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 22/05/2018 16:51:48 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
