tabling member printed	Baroness Tonge
uin	HL1066
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported on 10th July that US$60 million was needed to cover out of stock medical supplies and medical referrals out of Gaza. This is now exacerbated by the Gaza emergency. Even before the recent violence the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza had chronic shortages of drugs (28% of drugs had zero stock) and medical supplies (53% of medical supplies had zero stock). Our support to UNRWA and ICRC is already helping these organisations to respond to the current situation, and we are in continuous contact with humanitarian agencies to assess emerging needs as a result of the violence.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Northover question first answered 24/07/2014 16:30:20 answering member 2539 label Biography information for Baroness Northover
