<p>The UK has a multi-year commitment to support the United Nations Relief and Works
Agency (UNRWA) and we plan to continue to fund the Agency in line with that agreement.
This will provide basic services such as health and education to Palestinian refugees
in Gaza, the West Bank and the region. Both the UK and UNRWA recognise the need for
UNRWA to reform to ensure its sustainability, and UNRWA has undertaken significant
cost-cutting measures to respond to budget cuts and growing need. We welcome UNRWA’s
efforts to broaden its donor base and are encouraging partners to step up with more
funding and more predictable disbursements. A long term solution requires a just,
fair, agreed and realistic settlement for Palestinian refugees. Until that happens
the UK remains firmly committed to supporting UNRWA and Palestinian refugees.</p>
