answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/06/2015 answer text <p>After the July-August 2014 conflict over 100,000 people were made homeless in Gaza and over 3,300 internally displaced people are still sheltering in UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) collective centres. UK aid is saving lives and providing services but we need to see a more sustainable political solution for Gaza which will address Israel’s legitimate security concerns whilst opening up movement and access and supporting the return of the PA.</p><p> </p><p>The UK was one of the biggest donors to the crisis last summer, providing more than £17 million in immediate humanitarian assistance for those caught up in the conflict. The UK subsequently pledged a further £20 million in early recovery assistance at the Gaza Reconstruction Conference in Cairo. We have already disbursed 80% of the pledge and will disburse the remaining this financial year, focussing largely on getting businesses back to work.</p> answering member constituency New Forest West answering member printed Mr Desmond Swayne question first answered 01/06/2015 16:01:46 answering member 55 label Biography information for Sir Desmond Swayne

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/06/2015 answer text <p>The UK remains in close contact with the Government of Yemen and other international partners regarding the situation in Yemen. I spoke to President Hadi of Yemen on 25 May 2015, with the UN Special Envoy Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed on 26 May, and with the Saudi Under Secretary of Foreign Affairs for Bilateral Relations Dr Prince Turki on 24 May. We discussed the situation on the ground and I emphasised the importance of moving to a durable political process.</p><p>The situation on the ground remains unstable and humanitarian needs are critical. The Houthis have continued to use violence and intimidation to achieve their aims. Following the end of a five-day humanitarian pause, Saudi-led airstrikes resumed on 17 May. Ultimately, the solution to the crisis must be a political one and I welcome the UN’s commitment to begin political consultations and its call for participants to engage in good faith and without pre-conditions.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 01/06/2015 11:02:25 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
