<p>UK support is helping to make areas affected by conflict safe, repair basic infrastructure
and rebuild homes so that families who have been displaced by violence can return
home safely and restart their lives.</p><p>The UK provides funding to repair housing
damaged during the conflict in Iraq through the UN’s Fund for Stabilization (FFS)
mechanism. As well as focussing on housing, the FFS funds projects to rehabilitate
critical infrastructure, restore basic services such as water and electricity and
provide livelihood opportunities in recently liberated areas. The UK has provided
£5.68 million to the FFS so far this year; this includes the £1.68 million announced
by my department in September which has been specifically earmarked for the repair
of over 1,000 homes in West Mosul.</p>
