Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether she has conducted an impact assessment of the potential effect of reductions in official development assistance on Palestinian (a) healthcare and (b) education.
Following Official Development Assistance (ODA) prioritisation exercises undertaken in March 2021, the UK no longer provides direct funding to the Palestinian Authority to support the salaries of education workers and health professionals. We are a longstanding supporter to the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) which provides core services, including healthcare and education to Palestinian refugees.
