<p>The UK has been at the forefront of the response to the crisis in Syria and the
region, and has pledged a total of £1 billion, our largest ever response to a single
humanitarian crisis. Of this, £111 million has been allocated to provide protection,
psychosocial support and education for children affected by the crisis in Syria and
the region. This includes funding to establish women and children’s centres in Iraq–
which provide counselling and support for women, and safe spaces for children to play
and learn. In Syria, the UK is supporting children with food, shelter and health.
The UK also helped launch, and mobilise international support for, the ‘No Lost Generation’
Initiative (NLGI), which aims to prevent a whole generation being lost to the Syria
conflict through physical and psychological trauma and lack of access to quality education
and other basic services.</p>
