question text	To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what recent assessment she has made of the effectiveness of the Gaza Reconstruction Mechanism and the effect of the Israeli Government's dual-use list on reconstruction.
tabling member constituency	Birmingham, Northfield
tabling member printed	Richard Burden
uin	111018
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/11/2017 answer text <p>The Gaza Reconstruction Mechanism (GRM) has been successful in importing construction materials to facilitate the reconstruction of buildings damaged during the 2014 conflict. Over 170,000 people have been able to carry out repairs and over 14,000 fully or partially damaged homes have been rebuilt. UN reports assess that the GRM has been less successful in facilitating the import of other “dual-use” materials; and that it is critical that the import of more “dual-use” items is simplified and expedited in order to facilitate larger infrastructure projects. A more comprehensive lifting of restrictions on materials entering Gaza, as part of a political agreement, is the only long-term solution.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 09/11/2017 10:42:16 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/11/2017 answer text <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> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 07/11/2017 12:54:53 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

Malaria remains a serious concern in Sudan. We will continue to contribute to the treatment of malaria (and other diseases) in Sudan through the Global Fund, a multilateral organisation which has invested nearly $33 billion in the treatment of diseases in Sudan since 2002, including malaria.
