<p> </p><p>The UK is the third largest donor to UNRWA, the main provider of health
services in Gaza, and we have announced a further £6 million to their Flash Appeal
for this crisis. We have activated a £3 million Rapid Response Facility on Saturday,
under which ten charities have been awarded a portion of £3 million to help them meet
urgent needs. This will mean that more than half a million people in Gaza will receive
medical care, clean water and sanitation.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>We have also
brought forward £3 million in funding to the International Committee of the Red Cross,
which will be used to help them repair water infrastructure damaged by airstrikes
and deliver emergency medical services. And we support the UN Access Coordination
Unit to work with the World Health Organisation, Israel, the Palestinian Authority
and aid agencies to facilitate the transfer of medical equipment and supplies and
patient referrals in and out of Gaza.</p><p> </p>
