	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/01/2018 answer text <p>Since the start of the Syria crisis, DFID has committed £2.46 billion, our largest ever response to a single humanitarian crisis. We have committed £429m to support activities in Jordan, through humanitarian, education and economic development programming. This funding has enabled over 126,000 Syrian refugees to access state education; allowed refugees to work legally, with over 70,000 work permits issued; and improved cross-community relations and much need infrastructure for Syrians and Jordanians living side by side in host communities. DFID has also allocated £543 million in humanitarian and development funding to Lebanon, providing nearly half a million cash grants and vouchers to help vulnerable people meet their basic needs, expanding the Lebanese education system to reach over 300,000 Syrian children, and improving infrastructure and services in 51 of the most conflict-prone municipalities. In 2016, DFID committed €328 million to the €3 billion EU Facility for Refugees in Turkey (FRIT). The UK is also contributing to the FRIT via our EU budget payments. The FRIT is supporting refugees and host communities by building schools, and providing health services and social welfare payments for the most vulnerable.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 29/01/2018 17:37:22 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
