<p>All UK-funded humanitarian aid is distributed on the basis of need irrespective
of race, religion or ethnicity. The organisations through which we channel our support
in Iraq do not identify or record beneficiaries by their religion. Since June 2014,
the UK has committed £169.5 million in humanitarian assistance to the crisis in Iraq.
This includes access to clean water, food, medicines, protection and other life-saving
assistance, targeted towards the most vulnerable people in Iraq.</p><p>Through the
Conflict, Security and Stabilisation Fund (CSSF), the UK provides funding for projects
designed to support community cohesion and encourage reconciliation, acceptance and
tolerance between communities.</p><p>In our dialogue with the Government of Iraq,
the Kurdistan Regional Government, and the United Nations, UK Ministers and officials
frequently raise the importance of protecting the rights of minorities.</p>
