HC Deb 19 September 2002 vol 390 c439W
Mr. Lyons

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what aid has been made available to the Palestinian Authority to assist in reconstruction and regeneration. [59643]

Clare Short

World Bank-led teams have recently completed a damage assessment following the IDF incursions in the West Bank during April. The physical infrastructure rebuilding costs amount to $360 million. We have agreed to provide technical support for the reconstruction of Jenin camp. Our on-going programmes in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and our enhanced support to the United Nation Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees, help address a wide range of Palestinian development needs.
