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\u2019s legitimate security concerns whilst opening up movement and access and supporting the return of the PA.<\/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>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/55", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Desmond Swayne"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "New Forest West"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Desmond Swayne"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-06-01", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-06-01T16:01:46.34Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "20"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "International Development"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "International Development"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-05-27", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Gaza"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what recent assessment her Department has made of the humanitarian situation in Gaza; and if she will make a statement.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/308", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Jim Cunningham"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Coventry South"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Jim Cunningham"} ], "uin" : "233"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/346954", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for International Development"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/346954/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
