answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/09/2014 answer text <p>The UK has provided £19.1 million in UK aid in response to this crisis. On 8 August DIFD announced they would be providing an additional £2 million to the Disasters Emergency Committee and on 4 August the Secretary of State for International Development announced £2 million in new funding for the UN Relief and Works Agency’s Flash Appeal. This will help the UN provide a package of essential goods to the thousands of families sheltering in schools. In total, we have now pledged £6 million to UNRWA’s appeal.</p><p> </p><p>Furthermore, on 1 August DFID activated the Rapid Response Facility for Gaza. This means pre-approved partners with a proven ability to operate in Gaza will now have access to a total of £3 million in new funding to provide rapid and direct emergency humanitarian assistance. We are providing £3 million to the World Food Programme to provide food vouchers. This boost will provide emergency food vouchers for more than 300,000 people for one month, and we are also providing £2 million in medical aid. Finally, we have brought forward £3m in funding to the International Committee of the Red Cross to help them repair water infrastructure, deliver emergency medical services and protect the civilian population.</p><p> </p><p>But we are clear that a political solution is required to the current crisis in Gaza if we are to avoid this suffering happening again. All UK effort is focused to that end.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 01/09/2014 08:25:26 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
