<p>Since summer 2014, the UK has committed £169.5m of humanitarian assistance to Iraq,
including to internally displaced people in the Kurdistan region. UK assistance is
provided through the UN which coordinates distribution and delivery. Therefore the
UK does not specifically earmark humanitarian assistance for the Kurdistan Regional
Government (KRG). Since 2014, the UK has provided support to the KRG, to build the
capacity of the Joint Crisis Coordination Centre (JCCC) which coordinates KRG humanitarian
activities and liaises with the Government of Iraq, UN and other actors involved in
the humanitarian response in Iraq. The UK is also supporting UN agencies that play
a direct role in helping the KRG manage the impact of operations in Mosul and elsewhere
in Iraq.</p>
