answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/02/2024 answer text <p>We respect the role and independence of the International Court of Justice (ICJ). However, we have stated that we have considerable concerns about this case, which is not helpful in the goal of achieving a sustainable ceasefire. Israel has the right to defend itself against Hamas in line with International Humanitarian Law, as we have said from the outset. Our view is that Israel's actions in Gaza cannot be described as a genocide, which is why we thought South Africa's decision to bring the case was wrong and provocative. We have long advocated for the immediate release of hostages and the need to get more aid. We are clear that an immediate pause is necessary to get aid in and hostages out, and then we want to build towards a sustainable, permanent ceasefire, without a return to the fighting.</p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 06/02/2024 17:29:53 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/10/2022 answer text <p>The UK has a long history of financial and technical support to the health sector in Pakistan. Bilateral programmes have focussed on health system strengthening, reproductive health, maternal and child health and nutrition. Since 2012, UK Aid in Pakistan has reached over 9.7 million family planning users and prevented 8,809 maternal deaths, over 8.08 million unwanted pregnancies and 1.89 million unsafe abortions. Currently our family planning programme has pivoted to flood support, providing primary health care to affected communities especially vulnerable women and children. Future Aid prioritisation decisions will be guided by the new UK International Development Strategy to ensure we continue to support women and girls, address increasing global challenges, deliver investment, get humanitarian assistance to those who need it most and continue our work on climate change, nature, and global health.</p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 19/10/2022 14:18:33 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty
