Israeli restrictions damage the economy and living standards of ordinary people in Gaza. There remains an urgent need for all the parties to reach an agreement that addresses the underlying causes of the conflict in Gaza. This should ensure that Hamas and other militant groups permanently end rocket fire and other attacks against Israel and that Israel lifts its restrictions to allow the Gazan economy to grow. We welcome the recent positive steps that Israel has taken to ease some restrictions. However, we want to see Israel go much further, and we are continuing to call on Israel to do so.<\/p>

In line with National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines, health professionals use appropriate opportunities to advise all women who may become pregnant that they can most easily reduce the risk of having a baby with a neural tube defect by taking folic acid supplements. This information is also available on the NHS Choices website.<\/p>

The Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) was, however, commissioned to provide advice to government on the impact of folic acid fortification to improve the folate status of women and therefore reduce the number of pregnancies affected by neural tube defects. This built on previous advice from SACN\u2019s predecessor the Committee on Medical Aspects of Food and Nutrition Policy in 2000. The Government is currently considering the recommendations that SACN made alongside other information sources, including the latest folate status data and expects to make an announcement on this in due course.<\/p>
