Details of our live programmes in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPTs) can be found on DFID’s Development Tracker at https://devtracker.dfid.gov.uk/. The UK is a long term supporter of Palestinian refugees through the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA); and is also committed to supporting the Palestinian Authority. The Secretary of State is currently conducting a full examination of DFID’s programme in the OPTs to ensure that UK taxpayers’ money is spent in the right places and in the right way.
