The funding will include support for “medical consultation, rehabilitation for children with blast injuries, safe water provision, and vital mental health services,” the FCDO said.

“It is vital that civilians in Gaza have unhindered access to aid,” Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband said.
“The UK is pledging a major new package of aid to provide much-needed healthcare support to those desperately in need,” Miliband added.
“We urge the Government of Israel to listen to our Call to Action and take steps to end its unacceptable restrictions on Gaza,” Miliband stated.
