<p>In October 2014, the UK pledged £20 million in early recovery assistance at the
Gaza Reconstruction Conference in Cairo. This included funding for reconstructive
surgery and rehabilitation for those injured, clearance of unexploded ordnance, short
term employment schemes, shelter and basic services, support to the private sector
to reopen factories and businesses, funding for the UN’s new construction materials
monitoring mechanism, technical assistance and direct support to the Palestinian Authority.
The UK has disbursed this pledge in its entirety. Since then the UK has provided more
than £25 million of additional support to Gaza for a range of activities, including
basic service delivery and further support to the private sector.</p>
