Jim Cunningham – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for International Development

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Jim Cunningham on 2014-07-16.

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what funding her Department has allocated to aid Palestinian citizens who have been injured, orphaned, made homeless and lost their livelihoods as a result of Israel’s recent air strikes; and whether she plans to keep the level of such funding under review in the light of future developments in that conflict.

Mr Desmond Swayne

DFID is one of the biggest donors to the Gaza crisis, providing over £17 million of emergency aid since the current conflict began. The level of funding is being kept under constant review.
