<p>It is not possible to calculate the full costs of the Occupation to any degree
of accuracy and determine how these are currently offset through the provision of
international aid, including from the UK. What we do know is that Israeli restrictions
do considerable damage to the Palestinian economy, are one of the main impediments
to economic growth, and contribute to a reliance on international aid. DFID is providing
£349 million in support of Palestinian development between 2011 and 2015. Decisions
on funding for the next five years will be made at the next spending review.</p><p>
