Meeting of the Parliament 07 January 2026
The Scottish Government’s £600,000 contribution to UNOCHA formed part of a wider package of measures that the First Minister announced on 3 September 2025 in response to the crisis in Gaza. That included a further £400,000 grant to Kids Operating Room to establish the Gaza HOPES field readiness hub, which is a scale replica of a rapidly deployable field hospital. Those commitments bring the Scottish Government’s total humanitarian aid for the Gaza crisis and wider middle east to £2.3 million.
