answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/10/2018 answer text <p>The UK remains deeply concerned about the humanitarian situation in Gaza and is supporting hospitals and patients through the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and addressing critical water and sanitation needs for 2 million people through the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF). We are a consistent top-five donor to the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), which provides basic services to 1.3 million people in Gaza, including basic health care. We are also supporting humanitarian access and enabling reconstruction efforts in Gaza.</p><p> </p><p>In the longer term, the UK will help to address the underlying causes of humanitarian strife in Gaza by focussing on economic development and helping to lift the overall standard of living by increasing trade and job creation, enabling greater movement and access for people and goods and enhancing the supply of electricity and clean water. Ultimately, a political settlement is the only way to ensure lasting peace for Palestinians and Israelis alike.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 11/10/2018 15:10:59 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2018 answer text <p>The UK supported the establishment and activity of the Rakhine Advisory Commission, which in August 2017 delivered a set of recommendations to address the causes of the Rohingya crisis. The UK continues to press the Burmese authorities to implement these recommendations in full. The UK secured a UN Security Council Presidential Statement on 6 November 2017 which emphasised that call, and called on Burma to refrain from the excessive use of military force in Rakhine State. Since then the UK has ensured a clear international message to the Burmese military through continued UN Security Council attention, including its visit to Burma of April/May 2018, and through the UN Human Rights Council resolution of 27 September. The Foreign Secretary told State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi that accountability for human rights violations was critical to the future safety of Rohingya in Rakhine when they met on 20 September.</p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 16/10/2018 14:54:06 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field
