<p>The UK government has provided funding for UN agencies and NGOs which includes
support for Syrian refugees in Italy and in Greece.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The UK is
prioritising its aid efforts where the need is greatest. Only a small percentage of
Syrians displaced from Syria are seeking asylum in Europe; the vast majority remain
in Syria and neighbouring countries. DFID is providing over £1 billion in response
to the conflict in Syria. Of this, £501 million is for inside Syria and £519 million
is to support neighbouring countries deal with the influx of refugees and pressures
this creates, including Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey. This has so far provided more
than 18 million food rations, 2.4 million medical consultations and access to clean
water for 1.6 million people. By meeting these basic needs we are helping Syrians
stay in their home region.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
