answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2017 answer text <p>The UK is closely monitoring the humanitarian response for the estimated 76,000 residents of West Mosul who are currently displaced. The majority of people displaced from West Mosul are being accommodated in camps or emergency sites, but some are also choosing to stay with relatives or in local host communities.</p><p>Hamam al-Alil is the first stop for displaced people fleeing West Mosul, where Internally Displaced People (IDPs) are security screened by the Government of Iraq before moving on to camps or other accommodation. The UN has set up temporary accommodation for IDPs waiting overnight at the screening site. The camp at Hamam al-Alil is now at full capacity but more spaces are currently under construction by UNHCR and the Government of Iraq. In the meantime, IDPs are being transferred to other camps east and north of Mosul where there is space available. In order to improve the living conditions of IDPs UKAid has helped provide them with food, shelter, water and sanitation assistance as well as cash assistance through funding partners in camps across Ninewa. The UK has ongoing discussions with UNHCR on the need to improve conditions and increase capacity at all camps.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 20/03/2017 16:51:14 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
