<p>The UK remains unequivocally committed to supporting the UN Relief and Works Agency
for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), and has so far provided around £50 million in 2017/18
to help the Agency provide key services to Palestinian refugees across the region
including basic education and health. On 15 March 2018 the Minister of State for the
Middle East and North Africa, Alistair Burt, announced that the UK has offered to
deliver its next round of financial support earlier than originally planned, to help
alleviate the pressure that UNRWA is currently facing. Minister Burt has spoken to
United States (US) counterparts to discuss how best to ensure the sustainable delivery
of UNRWA’s services, and UK officials are also in discussion with US representatives.</p>
