With funding from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, UK-Med has treated more than 110,000 people since January.

Many of the medics who staff the UK-Med hospitals in Al Mawasi and Deir El Balah, along the Gaza Strip, have also come from the NHS, with 26 NHS staff having been rotated through Gaza so far.

In July, Foreign Secretary David Lammy announced a further £5.5m for UK-Med to fund its humanitarian assistance and medical treatment in Gaza.

Anneliese Dodds, minister of state for development, said: “In Gaza and elsewhere, aid workers from around the UK are operating in some of the most dangerous places in the world, treating the most vulnerable.

“The UK’s official Emergency Medical Team pools medical expertise from across the country to make a real difference in reacting to humanitarian disasters around the globe.

“The government is proud to support their crucial work.”
