No more UK funding is due this financial year.</p><p>Our decision to pause future funding to UNRWA has no impact on the UK's contribution to the humanitarian response. We remain committed to getting humanitarian aid to the people in Gaza who desperately need it. Our commitment to trebling aid to Gaza still stands. The Foreign Secretary announced a further £10 million in aid funding for the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPTs) on 13 March, bringing the total spend to over £100 million this financial year. Together with partners we are working to get aid in as quickly as possible by land, sea and air.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 22/03/2024 10:59:53 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell
