The UK welcomes the generosity shown by the international community in response to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. At the Gaza reconstruction conference on 12 October the UK pledged an additional £20million to help kick start the recovery and get the Gazan people back on their feet. Our current focus is on engaging Israel and other parties to ensure the unimpeded delivery of aid, including through the UN mechanism on construction materials which both parties have approved. The UK is pressing them to now make swift progress towards a durable ceasefire agreement.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 28/10/2014 16:35:18 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2014 answer text <p>The UK does not, and will not, recognise the illegal annexation of Crimea by Russia. Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea is a flagrant violation of a number of Russia’s international commitments, including under the UN Charter, the OSCE Helsinki Final Act and the 1997 Partition Treaty on the Status and Conditions of the Black Sea Fleet with Ukraine. That is why Russia has been isolated in the Security Council and in the wider international community.</p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 28/10/2014 15:09:13 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington
