	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/05/2023 answer text <p>The UK remains committed to the safety and security of refugees, including Yazidis in North-East Syria and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Due to the shifting circumstances on the ground we are not in a position to make an accurate estimate of their number. When appropriate we raise the troubling humanitarian situation in refugee camps with the relevant authorities. Durable solutions must be pursued for displaced populations, including return, relocation, or local integration, where appropriate. We regularly raise this with the relevant authorities, the Iraq Government, UN bodies, international partners and our development programming in Iraq will support these efforts.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 17/05/2023 10:30:51 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
