The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what conditions he has placed on the restoration of funding to UNRWA.

Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer

Since the Foreign Secretary restored funding to UNRWA in July 2024, the UK has committed £41 million to UNRWA to deliver essential services for civilians in Gaza and the West Bank, and to Palestinian refugees across the region. A Memorandum of Understanding governs UK financial support to UNRWA. We continue to monitor UNRWA's activity through due diligence and annual assessments.
