Australia has a long history of supporting Palestinians through humanitarian assistance and our development cooperation program. We continue this support under Australia’s International Development Policy.
This policy presents Australia’s long-term vision for how our development program will meet the critical needs of our partners, while also supporting Australia’s national interests and the interests we share with our region. Australia recognises that an effective development program is key to building regional resilience.
In 2023-24 the planned bilateral allocation to the Occupied Palestinian Territories is $20 million while total official development assistance is estimated to be $32.2 million.
