Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what financial support her Department has provided towards the construction and redevelopment of schools in the West Bank and Gaza since 2010.
In December 2011 the UK directly funded 13 schools in Gaza, managed by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency. DFID funded the cost of construction, basic equipment, furniture and supplies for these schools and each school cost on average £1.1 million. In the West Bank, there has been no direct UK bilateral funding for the construction and redevelopment of schools during the referenced period.
