<p>The UK has discussed the situation in detail with the United States, all other
main donors, and host Governments in the context of the recent United Nations Relief
and Works Agency (UNRWA) Advisory Commission. The UK has highlighted our concern about
the impact on the activities of UNRWA that any unexpected reductions or delays in
predicted donor disbursements might have.</p><p> </p><p>My officials are working closely
with UNRWA, the United States, and other European Union partners to understand the
risks to UNRWA’s programmes and to ensure the continuity of services for Palestinian
refugees. The UK is concerned about the impact on UNRWA’s activities whenever unexpected
reductions or delays in predicted donor disbursements occur and, in particular, how
this may disproportionally affect the most vulnerable refugees. We are liaising with
UNRWA on their plans for service continuity. UNRWA has publically stated their determination
to continue services in all their fields of operations.</p>
