<p>a) We are supporting 11 hospitals in Gaza through £1.5 million to the International
Committee of the Red Cross. Our longstanding support to UNRWA provides primary healthcare
to 1.3 million people in Gaza. The UK regularly raises the issuance of medical permits,
which is vital for healthcare for Gazans, with the Israeli authorities.</p><p>b) The
UK will work with Israel, the Palestinian Authority, other donors and the Office of
the Quartet to provide a sustainable electricity supply to Gaza. This requires greater
domestic electricity capacity and energy imports from Israel and Egypt as well as
institutional reform.</p><p>c) UK funding to UNICEF is helping 2 million Gazans access
clean safe water and stopping the spread of disease by providing over 1000 roof water
tanks and disinfecting 280 wells, 38 desalination plants and 40 reservoirs.</p><p>d)
The UK has already provided support to water infrastructure and will support other
infrastructure investments through our new economic development programme. We welcome
the proposals of UN Special Representative of the Secretary General, Mladenov, and
are keen to see further details.</p>
