To date, we have pledged over £1.1 billion. Of this total we have allocated £304 million in Lebanon, £193 million in Jordan, £34 million to Turkey, £19 million to Iraq and the remainder across the region.</p><br /><p>We have not earmarked our funding for specific refugee camps across the region. We support a range of partners including the UN and international non-governmental organisations that work both in camps and in host communities to provide a range of support for refugees. This includes shelter, water, healthcare and education. The vast majority of refugees in countries neighbouring Syria live in host communities. There are no formal camps in Lebanon; rather refugees are disbursed across the country in host communities.</p> answering member constituency New Forest West answering member printed Mr Desmond Swayne question first answered 15/12/2015 12:45:57 answering member 55 label Biography information for Sir Desmond Swayne previous answer version 35396 answering member constituency New Forest West answering member printed Mr Desmond Swayne answering member 55 label Biography information for Sir Desmond Swayne

We will continue to keep our defence exports under careful review to ensure they meet the rigorous standards of the Consolidated EU and National Arms Export Licensing Criteria.</p><p>The UN assesses Yemen to be the world’s largest humanitarian crisis. Nearly 21 million people are in need of humanitarian aid.

We continue to strongly support the work of the UN’s Special Envoy to Yemen, Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, to end the conflict and bring about peace.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 24/10/2017 16:13:47 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

This is an important first step. Reconstruction will require a durable ceasefire, an agreed approach on security, predictable and sustained access for people and goods into and out of Gaza, and good governance arrangements.
