(2) The Government of Gaza<\/p>

<\/p>

The UK does not fund the de facto authority in Gaza. The military wing of Hamas is proscribed by the UK, and the political wing subject to EU asset freezing legislation.<\/p>

<\/p>

(3) The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA)<\/p>

<\/p>

Data for DFID\u2019s funding to multilaterals, including UNRWA, is available on the Statistics for International Development (SID) website. SID does not differentiate between DFID\u2019s spend in the West Bank and Gaza.<\/p>

<\/p>

The UK is a long-term supporter of UNRWA\u2019s work in Gaza. We provide yearly core contributions to UNRWA\u2019s Programme Budget which supports the provision of basic services in the West Bank, Gaza, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. Additionally, the UK has previously supported an UNRWA Job Creation programme in Gaza and in 2014, contributed to UNRWA\u2019s Gaza Flash Appeal<\/p>
