answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/07/2022 answer text <p>The UK has allocated over £799 million in humanitarian, development and security funding to Lebanon since 2011, providing humanitarian assistance since 2016. This funding benefits both Syrian refugees in Lebanon and vulnerable Lebanese. We make funding decisions based on regular assessment data collected by the humanitarian community. Since the economic decline over the last two years, additional assessment data has been collected on the humanitarian needs of the Lebanese, Palestinian refugees, and migrant communities, to complement the data on Syrian refugees. Short and medium-term needs across all population groups are myriad, covering basic needs including food, healthcare, and protection. Long-term needs can only be met through long-term solutions.</p><p>The UK is at the forefront of the international community in ensuring humanitarian support to Lebanon is principally based on humanitarian need, rather than refugee status, under a 'whole of Lebanon' response. We also continue to make clear that Lebanon's leaders must implement a credible reform process as the only sustainable way to address the ongoing crisis in Lebanon.</p> answering member constituency Cannock Chase answering member printed Amanda Milling question first answered 26/07/2022 13:25:12 answering member 4454 label Biography information for Dame Amanda Milling

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/03/2022 answer text <p>Lebanon is facing a severe economic crisis. Its people are suffering from the failure of Lebanon's political elites to deliver much-needed and long-promised reforms, exacerbated by the public health crisis caused by COVID-19 and the aftermath of the Beirut port explosion in August 2020. The humanitarian situation is worsening. To help set Lebanon on the right path, the authorities must ensure the parliamentary elections scheduled for 15 May take place on time and are free and fair. Since 2011, the UK has allocated over £787 million in humanitarian and development funding to Lebanon to support Syrian refugees and other vulnerable people. The UK and members of the International Support Group for Lebanon stand with the people of Lebanon in their time of need, but we are clear that Lebanon's leaders must implement a credible reform process as the only sustainable way to address the crisis.</p> answering member constituency Cannock Chase answering member printed Amanda Milling grouped question UIN 143550 question first answered 28/03/2022 14:48:27 answering member 4454 label Biography information for Dame Amanda Milling

The UK is at forefront of support to Lebanon's response to coronavirus and has contributed nearly £4.5 million for medical supplies via the World Health Organisation and support through the British Red Cross as well as funding 10 isolation centres.</p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 22/07/2021 16:10:23 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/01/2020 answer text <p>In Lebanon, DFID is providing regular targeted cash transfers to help over 10,000 of the most vulnerable Syrian refugee families to meet their most basic survival needs. The UK also funds legal assistance, support and advice (e.g. birth/marriage registration, civil documentation) to 55,000 individuals to uphold rights, facilitate access to basic services and to better prepare refugees for their eventual return to Syria. DFID is also supporting provision of non-formal education for up 114,500 vulnerable children and providing child protection and gender-based violence services to 295,930 girls, boys and caregivers.</p><p>The UK strongly advocates for the rights and protection of refugees and is working with aid agencies to further reform the aid system to deliver more effective, smarter aid to the most vulnerable. The UK continues to play a leading role in mobilising the international community. On 12 – 14 March 2019, the UK attended the third Brussels Conference on “Supporting the Future of Syria and the Region”, driving forward the legacy of our own London Conference held in 2016. The money pledged will save lives and enable the provision of life-saving supplies and resources to build the livelihoods of millions of internally displaced persons and refugees, and their host communities.</p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 30/01/2020 17:09:56 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison
