<p>The humanitarian situation in Idlib is extremely serious. DFID continues to closely
monitor the situation in Northwest Syria, and we are concerned about the impact of
recent escalations of violence on civilians. So far this financial year we have allocated
£40 million in support for the region, and are keeping this under active review as
the situation on the ground develops.</p><p> </p><p>Our support in this region continues
to provide Syrians with shelter, clean water and sanitation, mental health services,
as well as aiding health workers and facilities that have been affected by escalating
violence. DFID partners are working tirelessly to meet the growing needs among displaced
people.</p><p> </p><p>In 2018 alone, DFID support in Idlib provided approximately
836,000 people with access to clean drinking water, 873,000 medical consultations,
69,000 food rations and access to formal education for 110,000 children.</p>
