The UK has contributed to medical care for Palestinians through our support to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) and the Palestinian Authority. The UK is a long-term supporter of UNRWA, providing over £60 million in 2015/16. Through this funding, we have supported UNRWA to deliver comprehensive primary healthcare to 5 million Palestinian refugees in Gaza, the West Bank and the region, as well as supporting them to access more specialised medical care.
