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
