UNRWA: Finance

Question for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office

UIN HL3611, tabled on 25 March 2024

To ask His Majesty's Government how much funding they provided to UNRWA in each of the past five years.

Answered on

12 April 2024

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.
