To ask Her Majesty's Government what support they intend to offer, if any, to the COVID-19 vaccination programme for Palestinians in Gaza, given reports of shortages of medical equipment.

Tackling COVID-19 remains a priority for the Government. The UK is one of the largest donors to the COVAX Advance Market Commitment (AMC), which supports access to COVID-19 vaccines for up to 92 low- and middle-income countries. Our £548 million commitment will support the COVAX AMC to deliver up to 1.8 billion doses to these countries by mid-2022. The Occupied Palestinian Territories was one of the first to receive vaccines from this scheme and continues to receive further consignments of COVAX vaccines, most recently on 29 December 2021.
