<p>We are supporting the Iraqi government in its efforts to unite Mosul's communities
against Daesh and extremism, rebuild public trust in the Iraqi state and deliver the
services and opportunities which all Maslawis want and deserve. Our goal is to liberate
Mosul, in a way that protects civilians, minimises the humanitarian impact, and limits
longer-term conflict by supporting political reconciliation.</p><p>The UK has pledged
£9.25m to the UN's Funding Facility for Immediate Stabilisation, which is supporting
the Iraqi government to stabilise areas recently liberated from Daesh and has so far
helped 775,000 people return to their homes by re-establishing security, basic services
and inclusive local governance. The Development Secretary announced a further £40
million in humanitarian assistance for Iraq at the UN General Assembly on 21 September,
specifically to support the response to Mosul.</p>
