<p>The UK remains deeply concerned by the situation in Gaza and we continue to engage
closely with the World Health Organisation, UN OCHA, MaP, and other health and humanitarian-based
NGOs working in Gaza to ensure we are we are able to monitor the situation and humanitarian
needs there. The Government has not made its own assessment of this specific issue.</p><p>
</p><p>To help ensure hospitals in Gaza can continue to provide essential services
on a range of health issues, we provided £1.5 million for the International Committee
of the Red Cross (ICRC) OPTs Appeal in 2018, and a further £2m in 2019. This new funding
will contribute to the delivery of surgical equipment, drugs and disposables, wound
dressing kits, and rehabilitative prosthetics. It will also help provide physical
rehabilitation services for up to 3,000 disabled people. The UK remains engaged on
the challenges facing Gaza’s health sector and we will continue to monitor the situation
closely.</p>
