This answer is a correction from the original answer.
DFID’s Official Development Assistance directly to West Bank and Gaza Strip 2007 to 2016
2007 | 2008 | 2009 | 2010 | 2011 | 2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 |
£26.8m | £74.4m | £81.0m | £85.0m | £103.6m | £82.8m | £82.3m | £111.9m | £75.1m | £43.9m |
This includes DFID’s bilateral ODA to the West Bank and Gaza Strip including DFID’s contribution to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) for basic services and protection for Palestine refugees in the region. In the National Statistics “ Statistics on International Development” the UNRWA contribution is included in DFID’s multilateral ODA total. This is due to the OECD DAC international code rules.
