PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Gaza: Humanitarian Aid (9 May 2024)

Allegations that UNRWA staff were involved in the events that took place on 7 October in Israel are appalling, which is why we took decisive action to pause future funding to the organisation.

The Prime Minister has been clear that the UK will set out its position on future funding to UNRWA following careful consideration of Catherine Colonna's final report, UNRWA's response and the ongoing UN Office for Internal Oversight Services investigation into these allegations.

The UK is playing a leadership role in alleviating the suffering in Gaza. We more than trebled our aid commitment last financial year, to over £100 million, and we are doing everything we can to get more aid in as quickly as possible by land, sea and air.
