uin	HL1340
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/08/2014 answer text We are aware that the Israeli authorities are facilitating medical access and evacuations through the Erez crossing. The EU is supporting specialised and life-saving medical treatments and emergency healthcare in Gaza. The UK funds the UN Access Coordination Unit to work with Israel, the Palestinian Authorities, the World Health Organisation and aid agencies to facilitate the transfer of medical equipment and supplies in to Gaza. We are also bringing forward £3 million in funding to the International Committee of the Red Cross, much of which will provide emergency health care. answering member printed Baroness Warsi question first answered 04/08/2014 11:20:14 answering member 3839 label Biography information for Baroness Warsi

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they consider the marine territory relating to Gaza to be that agreed in the Oslo Accords or some lesser distance from the shoreline; and which country they consider to be the owner of mineral rights in such a marine territory.
tabling member printed	Lord Warner
uin	HL2032
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2014 answer text The Oslo Accords did not agree the marine territory relating to Gaza. They set out rules for maritime activities, by defining certain maritime activity zones and what could take place in them, including but not limited to setting the 20 nautical mile fishing limit. Off the coast of Gaza, Marine 1/Gaza Marine lies entirely within the control of the Palestinian Authority. Marine 2/Noa straddles the Gaza/Israeli maritime border and so has been split on that basis into two fields: Noa South (under the control of the Palestinian Authority) and Noa (under the control of Israel). answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 21/10/2014 14:21:55 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether the International Court of Justice has ruled on the claim by Turkey that Israel’s partial blockade of Gaza constitutes illegal collective punishment; and if so, in what terms.
tabling member printed	Lord Hylton
uin	HL2033
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2014 answer text The International Court of Justice has not ruled on the legality of Israel’s restrictions around Gaza. The British Government continues to stress to the Israeli authorities the damage that their restrictions are doing to the living standards of ordinary Palestinians in Gaza, and that supporting legal trade for Gazans is firmly in Israel’s long-term interests. We have also encouraged the Egyptian authorities to ease the movement of bona fide travellers through Rafah, and to consider expanding Rafah to goods transit in the medium term, which will help to ease humanitarian pressures. Easing Israeli and Egyptian restrictions would also go some way to alleviate the shortage of medicines and medical supplies, which are much needed. answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 22/10/2014 16:07:54 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/08/2014 answer text <p>We welcome the repeated opening of the Rafah crossing for evacuation of the severely injured from Gaza that Egypt has facilitated throughout the current crisis, as well as the humanitarian aid packages it has supplied.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/10/2014 answer text <p>We welcome the mechanism agreed by Israel, the Palestinian Authority and the UN to facilitate the import of construction materials. This is an important first step. Reconstruction will require a durable ceasefire, an agreed approach on security, predictable and sustained access for people and goods into and out of Gaza, and good governance arrangements. Only then will donors have the assurances they need to be able to support the reconstruction effort.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency New Forest West answering member printed Mr Desmond Swayne question first answered 13/10/2014 16:32:35 answering member 55 label Biography information for Sir Desmond Swayne

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/07/2014 answer text <p>We remain concerned at the impact of Israeli restrictions on private sector and humanitarian construction. We press Israel, as the Occupying Power, to ease its restrictions – including on construction materials - on Gaza, stressing the damage that those restrictions are doing to the living standards of ordinary Palestinians and that supporting legal trade for Gazans is firmly in Israel's long-term interests. Officials in Tel Aviv discussed UN reconstruction projects in Gaza with the Israeli authorities in April 2014. Subsequently United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine (UNRWA) received re-approval from the Israeli authorities for eight previously approved construction projects. In addition one new project was approved.</p> answering member printed Baroness Warsi question first answered 01/07/2014 12:46:07 answering member 3839 label Biography information for Baroness Warsi
