Gaza: Armed Conflict
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many (1) single amputee, and (2) multiple amputee, children require prosthetics as a result of being injured in Operation Protective Edge; what assessment they have made of the access Gazan children have to prosthetics and rehabilitation; and what assessment they have made of the cost of funding a single prosthetic limb for a child through to adulthood.
- Answer
-
DFID does not routinely carry out such assessments. Following the conflict in Gaza, DFID provided £724,518 to a Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) project which provided support for trauma and plastic reconstructive surgery and essential medical equipment to Gaza hospitals.
MAP published a report on a mission carried out in August 2014 to make an assessment of needs and any immediate surgical work if required which can be read here: http://www.map-uk.org/downloads/map-ideals-gaza-medical-report-august-2014-(2).pdf.
