Gaza: Health Professions
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what steps his Department is taking to help ensure that medical workers in Gaza can perform their humanitarian functions without risk of attack.
- Answer
-
We are concerned by the report on attacks on health workers and healthcare facilities in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, in particular in Gaza. We regularly raise our concerns about the situation with the Israeli Government, pressing them on the need for a long-term strategy to improve humanitarian conditions. We are clear that medical staff and services should have the protection that allows them to do their jobs in safety.
