The UK contributed £600,000 to the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) 2017 Syria Emergency Appeal for Palestinian refugees from Syria in Jordan. Under the same grant, the UK also provided UNRWA with £1million of funding for their 2016 appeal in Jordan. UK funds have contributed to teacher salaries at UNRWA-run schools and have also been used to provide cash assistance for Palestinian refugees from Syria, that meet strict vulnerability criteria. Additionally, the UK provides significant support to Jordan to improve education access and quality and create economic opportunities, which will benefit people throughout Jordan, including Palestinians.
