<p>The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) is an essential humanitarian
and stabilising force in the region, providing vital services to millions of Palestinian
refugees every day. In 2019/20 the UK has committed £65.5 million to UNRWA, matching
our 2018 contribution. The UK’s support helps provide education to more than 532,000
children (half of which are girls), health services for around 3.1 million people
and social safety net assistance for 255,000 of the most vulnerable. UNRWA’s three
year mandate was renewed at the UN General Assembly’s Fourth Committee on 13 December;
the UK voted in favour.</p>
