Gaza: Humanitarian Aid
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how much UK funded aid is awaiting entry into Gaza.
Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer
UK aid includes both goods and services delivered through UN agencies and international Non-Governmental Organizations. Quantifying how much is awaiting entry into Gaza is difficult, due to the complex operating environment and limited real-time data. On 19 May the UK, France and Canada stated Israel's announcement to allow basic quantity of food into Gaza is inadequate and called for immediate humanitarian aid to enter Gaza. In January 2025, the UK announced £17 million to support the delivery of food, healthcare and shelter via the United Nations Children's Fund, UK-Med and the World Health Organization. Some UK-funded partners are active inside Gaza; others deliver assistance from the West Bank.
