answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/12/2017 answer text <p>The UK, as the largest donor to Gavi, the Global Vaccine Alliance, will contribute US$168.7 million to Gavi’s pneumococcal Advanced Market Commitment for the 2016-2020 period. Immunising children against major killers (such as measles, pneumonia and diarrhoea) is a public health and development best buy. 109 million children were vaccinated between 2010 and 2016, thanks to Gavi’s support where again the UK was the largest donor, saving an estimated 762,000 lives</p><p>Gavi’s Pneumococcol Advanced Market commitment reduces costs, which has enabled 58 countries to introduce vaccinations. The UK also supports countries to build stronger health systems that can respond to existing disease burdens and emerging health issues, including pneumonia.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 19/12/2017 14:08:11 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/12/2017 answer text <p>Aid delivered by road by trusted humanitarian partners (including the UN) is by far the most effective way to meet needs in Syria and to ensure that it reaches those most in need. Airdrops are high risk and not capable of delivering many of the types of aid on a scale that could meet key needs (e.g. safe drinking water, shelter, health support). Crucially, the consent is needed of those who control the airspace and those on the ground that could threaten aircraft. There is nothing to suggest that the Assad regime would provide such consent if it remained intent on blocking land access.</p><p>The UK continues to demand full and sustained humanitarian access to besieged locations across Syria at the UN and at every opportunity, and we have called on all parties to take all feasible measures to protect civilians, as required under international humanitarian law.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 19/12/2017 14:05:12 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/12/2017 answer text <p>In August 2017, the International Monetary Fund estimated that external financial support to the Palestinian Authority (PA) in 2017 will total $666 million USD (approx. £500 million GBP). Many donors, including the UK and European Union, restrict their support to the PA for specific purposes and projects, and ensure that none of their aid is used for payments to convicted terrorists in Israeli prisons. No estimates have been made of the proportion of the PA’s external financial support which was spent on payments to convicted terrorists in Israeli prisons in the last 12 months.</p><p> </p><p>No UK aid is used for payments to Palestinian prisoners or their families. UK financial assistance to the PA is only used to help to pay the salaries of health and education public servants in the West Bank. Only named public servants from a pre-approved EU list are eligible and a robust verification system validates that funds are used for the intended purposes. The UK government strongly condemns all forms of violence including incitement to violence.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 18/12/2017 16:05:57 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
