<p>While we have not raised this specific aspect, our Embassy to Tel Aviv raised the
general issue of medical permits for Gaza with the Israeli authorities on 21 February.
As I informed the House on 20 February, we have previously raised concerns about ambulance
and permit delays with the Israeli authorities, and we will continue to do so. We
have, also, consistently urged the Israeli Government to ease movement and access
restrictions in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPTs). We are supporting the
UN Access Coordination Unit to work with the Israeli Government, Palestinian Authority
and aid agencies to facilitate humanitarian access in the OPTs.</p>
