The UK is unequivocally committed to supporting Palestinian refugees across the region. Over the course of the 2017/18 financial year, the UK provided around £50 million to the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), assisting in their provision of essential services including basic education to around 500,000 children, health services for around 3 million Palestinian refugees and supporting Palestinian refugees from Syria. The UK will deliver its next round of financial support earlier than originally planned, to help meet the growing needs of Palestinian refugees across the region. We are also working with the international community and UNRWA to explore how best to ensure the continuity of essential services to Palestinian refugees at this time.<\/p>"}

This includes drugs used in emergency departments and other critical units. Out of the 853 essential disposables, which include surgical equipment, 23% were completely depleted. According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs the health sector is being further strained by the recent deaths and injuries suffered during protests in Gaza.<\/p>"}
