<p>Provision of humanitarian aid is prioritised through joint UN and NGO needs assessments,
which aim to identify which populations are most in need, where they are located and
what their key support needs are. We are watching the latest developments in the cantons
of Afrin, Kobane and Jazira closely, and continue to call on all sides of the conflict
to respect International Humanitarian Law and protect civilians. DFID is providing
humanitarian assistance through our support to the UN appeal for Syria, including
provision of food to affected cities in both Afrin and Hassakeh.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>To
date, the UK has pledged £1 billion in response to the humanitarian crisis in Syria
and the region, of which £500 million has been allocated to support people inside
Syria.</p>
