In July 2018 the UK committed to provide up to £38 million over five years (2018-2023) to support economic development in Gaza and the West Bank. Through this programme we will increase trade and job creation across Gaza and the West Bank by helping to enable greater movement and access for people and goods. We will also provide support to facilitate the construction of the Gaza Central Desalination Plant, which will increase access to clean piped water and help replenish the Gaza aquifer, and in turn help Gazans access clean water. In addition, this UK aid programme will help to install solar panels for hospitals, businesses and households, increasing the availability of electricity in Gaza.<\/p>

UNRWA has a twin-track approach to addressing the funding shortfall: raising additional money from donors; and identifying those programme \u200eactivities which can be merged with its core activities or reviewing non-core activities which can be picked up by other providers. The UK supports UNRWA\u2019s approach, and has increased our funding for UNRWA this year to £38.5 million so far.<\/p>
Emergency Appeal activities currently being reviewed are:<\/p>
1. West Bank<\/p>
Emergency interventions such as cash for work activities, community mental health and mobile health work;<\/p><\/li><\/ul>
2. Gaza<\/p>
Community mental health programmes and the job creation project;<\/p><\/li><\/ul>
3. Jordan & Lebanon<\/p>
Palestinian refugees from Syria in Jordan and Lebanon will continue to receive UNRWA support, and the delivery of UNRWA\u2019s core services are funded until late August;<\/p><\/li><\/ul>
4. Syria<\/p>
The recent Assad regime offensive on Yarmouk camp has resulted in the displacement of approximately 6,000 residents according to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency\u2019s assessment.<\/p>

Our current support to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) supports the delivery of surgical equipment, drugs and disposables and physical rehabilitation services to around 4,000 Gazans rendered disabled following the recent surge in violence.
