<p>The UK is firmly committed to ensuring aid reaches the most vulnerable, including
those from religious minorities, where they constitute part of that category. We conduct
regular assessments through a range of sources to ensure assistance is provided in
conformity with the international humanitarian principles of neutrality and impartiality.</p><p>
</p><p>UK funding is distributed on the basis of need to ensure that civilians are
not discriminated against on the grounds of race, religion or ethnicity. DFID does
not identify or record beneficiaries by their religion and ethnicity and does not
plan to collect disaggregated population data on minority groups. Our partners carry
out comprehensive vulnerability assessments to ensure aid is reaching those most in
need, and we are confident that minorities, including faith communities, are not overlooked
in this process.</p>
