answer text <p>Following US cuts in 2018, the international community was able to step up and meet the shortfall, allowing UNRWA to continue to provide essential basic services to Palestinian refugees in Gaza, the West Bank, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan. However, we recognise that these refugee populations need UNRWA be on a more secure financial footing. To that end, the UK is working with UNRWA and other donors to ensure its sustainability. This includes finding further cost savings reforms, diversifying donor income, and encouraging multi-year funding commitments. The UK is a leading donor to UNRWA and I am proud to confirm that we plan to provide up to £80m to UNRWA over the next two years.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Pakistan administered Kashmir benefits from national programmes in Pakistan to promote economic growth and improve education and health services. For example, 1.86% of the Government of Pakistan’s Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) beneficiaries are in Pakistan administered Kashmir (approximately 100,000 out of 5.2 million beneficiaries). DFID’s support to BISP focuses on system strengthening and cash transfers.</p> more like this

answer text <p>As I set out in the Westminster Hall debate on 6 December the UK position on demolitions is clear: we consider them entirely unacceptable. In all but the most exceptional cases, they are contrary to international humanitarian law. Demolitions or evictions of Palestinian families from their homes cause unnecessary suffering and call into question Israel’s commitment to a viable two-state solution. The UK is particularly concerned by Israeli proposals to relocate the Bedouin population from the E1 area, which the UN has said could constitute forcible transfer.</p> more like this
