<p>According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs
(UN OCHA), lifesaving services are being run on generators in Gaza as a result of
electricity shortages, with many vital health, water and sanitation facilities being
provided with emergency UN fuel to continue operating. The UK is supporting approximately
1 million Gazans by addressing critical water, sanitation and hygiene needs through
the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), and is a long-term supporter of the UN
Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA), which provides basic services
to 1.3 million people in Gaza, including basic health care. The UK will continue to
urge all the parties to prioritise progress towards reaching a durable solution for
Gaza and to take the necessary practical steps to improve condition, including restoring
the availability of electricity as a matter of urgency.</p>
