Mr. Paul Marsden: To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what medical assistance is being given to hospitals in
Iraq. [113048]
Hilary Benn: The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has been active in Iraq throughout the conflict supplying hospitals
with water, power and medical supplies. ICRC has also been helping-replace missing equipment. The World Health Organisation (WHO) is
co-ordinating the sectoral response. Its latest assessment is that there is not an overall shortage of medical supplies in Iraq,
though there are shortages of drugs for a few specific conditions.
Since the start of the current crisis DFID has supported the following agencies to provide assistance to the Iraqi health sector.
International Red Cross/Red Crescent movement: £32 million; UNICEF: £9 million (£2 million for contingency planning and preparedness
measures, £7 million as part of the UN flash appeal); WHO: £6 million (£1 million for contingency planning and preparedness
measures, £5 million as part of the UN flash appeal); and NGOs including Merlin, International Medical Corps, Save the Children, UK
and GOAL.

civilians of Iraq in (a) water supplies, (b) food and (c) medical treatment after military conflict. [100082]
Clare Short: Operational humanitarian organisations have made a range of contingency plans to assist civilians with water food and
medical treatment in the event of conflict in Iraq. My Department is in close contact with several such organisations, including Un
agencies, the Red Cross/Crescent and NGOs. We also discuss regularly with the armed forces the importance of minimising the extent
of civilian suffering, and the limited humanitarian assistance the military could provide during any period before UN agencies/NGOs
were operational.
