<p>The UK is concerned that cuts to UNRWA assistance may exacerbate existing tensions
amongst Palestinian refugees who have fled to Syria’s neighbouring countries. That
is why the UK has been in close contact with UNRWA, other donors, and host governments
on how best to manage and mitigate the impact of funding shortfalls. The UK is the
third largest donor to UNRWA’s General Fund, and the fourth largest donor to UNRWA’s
operations overall. This includes over £28 million provided to date to support Palestinian
refugees in Syria and the region affected by the Syria crisis.</p>
