The UK is deeply concerned about the humanitarian impact of ongoing hostilities on civilians, particularly children in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon. Last financial year, the UK provided £81 million of humanitarian and early recovery support to Palestine, including £9.7 million for UNICEF to support the provision of ready-to-use infant formula, water, sanitation and hygiene services, psychosocial services for children, and social protection for children. We continue to call on the Government of Israel to fully enable the UN and other humanitarian organisations to deliver essential humanitarian aid. The UK has also provided £30 million of vital humanitarian funding to Lebanon to support those most in need during the current crisis.
