Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office written question – answered at on 12 April 2024.
Lord Weir of Ballyholme
DUP
To ask His Majesty's Government how much funding they provided to UNRWA in each of the past five years.
Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
The UK provided the following funding to UNRWA in each of the last five financial years:
FY 2019 - 20: £65.5 million
FY 2020 - 21: £65 million
FY 2021 - 22: £11 million
FY 2022 - 23: £18.7 million
FY 2023 - 24: £35 million
The UK provided £35 million to UNRWA this financial year, including an uplift of £16 million for the Gaza humanitarian response, all of which was disbursed before the recent allegations came to light. No more British funding is due this financial year and we have paused any future funding of UNRWA.
