DFID has been working directly in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPTs) for over 16 years.
Our work supports a wider international objective: creation of a viable and independent Palestinian state, so that Palestinians can live in peace alongside a secure Israel.
Major challenges
UK aid supports the peace process by:
- helping to build the institutions of a future Palestinian state.
- supporting economic development.
- assisting Palestinian refugees across the region.
- responding to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
