<p>The UK has allocated £559 million, of an overall £1.12 billion contribution to
the Syria crisis response, to support refugees in the region and vulnerable host communities.
This includes £304 million in Lebanon, £193 million in Jordan and the remainder across
the region. The UK prioritises its assistance according to where needs are greatest
and most unmet, guided by assessments including the UN appeals, and the capacity of
the host country to absorb refugees.</p><br /><p>In line with the key humanitarian
principles of neutrality and impartiality, we work with trusted humanitarian partners
with experience of operating in fragile and conflict affected states, to ensure that
aid is delivered to people on a needs basis. In 2015/16 DFID is working with 18 humanitarian
partners in neighbouring countries. These include UN agencies, international organisations,
NGOs and civil society organisations.</p>
