More than £117m of taxpayers' money will be spent to protect mosques, Muslim faith schools and community centres from hate attacks, the government has announced. Home Secretary James Cleverly said the money, which will be spent over the next four years on measures including CCTV cameras, alarms and fencing, would give 'reassurance and confidence to UK Muslims'.
9m allocated following the 7 October Hamas attack on Israel, which triggered the latest conflict in Gaza. The announcement, which comes at the start of Ramadan, will cover community sites across the UK. The funding package is larger than that given to the Community Security Trust to cover Jewish facilities because of the higher Muslim population and a larger number of sites to cover.
