<p>Data for all DFID’s spend is available on the Statistics for International Development
(SID) website at</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-on-international-development"

SID does not differentiate between DFID’s spend in the West Bank and Gaza.</p><p>The
UK provided more than £17 million in immediate humanitarian assistance for those affected
by the Gaza conflict in the summer of 2014. In October 2014, the UK pledged a further
£20 million in early recovery assistance at the Gaza Reconstruction Conference in
Cairo, including support for cash assistance to Palestinian refugees, mine removal
and medical treatment. The UK has disbursed this pledge in its entirety. Since then
the UK has provided additional support to Gaza, including supporting basic service
delivery, such as health and education, through the United Nations Relief and Works
Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), supporting humanitarian access, enabling reconstruction
efforts and investing in job creation.</p>
