Delighted that Foreign Secretary, David Lammy has announced the immediate resumption of UNRWA funding. This is badly needed now. There must be an immediate ceasefire in Gaza - the impact on civilians is intolerable.
The government has ended the funding pause on
@UNRWA
- effective immediately.
This begins with £21m to support the humanitarian response in Gaza, provide essential services for refugees across the region, and alleviate the suffering of civilians.

Appalling scenes last night and I know many will be worried about this weekend. This behaviour and violence is unacceptable and at the heart of it is the far right spreading misinformation and hate to divide communities. This must not be allowed to happen.
Criminals attacking the police & stoking disorder on our streets will pay the price for their violence & thuggery.
The police have the full backing of Government to take the strongest possible action & ensure they face the full force of the law.
They do not represent Britain.
