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>

My officials are working closely with UNRWA, the United States, and other European Union partners to understand the risks to UNRWA\u2019s programmes and to ensure the continuity of services for Palestinian refugees.

We are liaising with UNRWA on their plans for service continuity.

Dominica was devastated by Hurricanes Irma and Maria. The UK provided £7m in emergency support, including shelter, food and other essential supplies. We have also committed £25m to support reconstruction. These funds will be delivered through the UK Caribbean Infrastructure Fund, in partnership with the Caribbean Development Bank. A Post Disaster Needs Assessment and discussions with the government of Dominica are informing spending priorities, with a likely focus on repairing the island\u2019s water supply system.<\/p>

The UK will also provide a further £8m to strengthen regional and national level disaster response mechanisms. Some of this funding will be used to provide expertise and oversight of the island\u2019s reconstruction programme so that funds are used in the most effective way. All UK funded reconstruction will support the key principle of building back better, so that Caribbean countries and territories are better able to withstand future hurricanes and natural disasters.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1091", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Bates"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Bates"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-01-24", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-01-24T17:17:41.987Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "20"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "International Development"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "International Development"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-01-16", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Dominica: Hurricanes and Tornadoes"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Bates on 21 December 2017 (HL4321), what level of support they will provide for reconstruction in Dominica following the hurricane damage.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4234", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Lister of Burtersett"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Baroness Lister of Burtersett"} ], "uin" : "HL4756"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/824020", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for International Development"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/824020/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
