More than 100,000 people have been left homeless, the UN estimates that only 10% of the population receives clean water daily, and many people face power cuts of up to 20 hours a day. DFID works closely with the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Human Affairs (OCHA), which manages the process of collecting, analysing and publishing information about the humanitarian situation in Gaza. The latest situation reports are published here: <a href="http://www.ochaopt.org/" target="_blank">http://www.ochaopt.org/</a>. DFID will continue to work with partners on the ground to monitor the situation and adapt our response accordingly.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Wallace of Saltaire question first answered 22/09/2014 12:50:57 answering member 1816 label Biography information for Lord Wallace of Saltaire
