question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what representations they have made, and intend to make, to the government of Israel about reports that it is not allowing parents to accompany their children and babies who need to leave Gaza for medical treatment in the West Bank.
tabling member printed	Baroness Tonge
uin	HL433
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/01/2020 answer text <p>​Our Embassy in Tel Aviv regularly raises the matter of medical permits with the Israeli authorities, most recently on 30 October 2019. My colleague Dr Murrison also raised medical permits, and the importance of parents being allowed to accompany children in need of urgent medical treatment, with the Israeli Ambassador to the UK on 22 October 2019. Israeli restrictions severely restrict the movement of medical professionals, patients and families from Gaza, hampering the provision of quality health services, as well as impacting Palestinians in the West Bank. The situation in Gaza is particularly acute, and is compounded by frequent closure by Egypt of the Rafah crossing, preventing urgent medical cases from seeking treatment in Egypt. A lasting resolution to the situation is needed that will ensure that all those who are in need of medical attention and their families have unimpeded access to healthcare provisions.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 28/01/2020 12:32:05 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

tabling member printed	Baroness Kinnock of Holyhead
uin	HL433
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/06/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>Humanitarian agencies are appealing for $1.8 billion (£1.06 billion) through the South Sudan Crisis Response Plan (CRP) 2014 to save lives, prevent famine and avert the loss of a generation. Under the CRP agencies plan to provide humanitarian assistance to 3.8 million people in South Sudan by the end of 2014. As of June 2014 $745 million (£438 million) has been secured against the CRP. The UK is concerned about the serious humanitarian situation in South Sudan and the potential for further deterioration. Our assessment is that additional resources will be needed to deliver the CRP over the next six months. The UK is currently the second largest donor to the CRP. We will continue to press others to do more.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Northover question first answered 26/06/2014 15:10:25 answering member 2539 label Biography information for Baroness Northover
