<p>Eligibility for the Syrian Vulnerable Persons Resettlement programme (VPR) is based
on established vulnerability criteria used by the UNHCR, which includes those who
have been victims of sexual violence and torture.</p><p>Whilst the VPR is limited
to Syrian nationals, the UK operates a number of other resettlement schemes which
are open to all nationalities. This includes our long-running Gateway and Mandate
schemes and our new Vulnerable Children’s Resettlement scheme. In the year ending
June 2016, the UK resettled over 100 Iraqis under the Gateway and Mandate schemes.</p><p>The
UK continues to support humanitarian efforts by providing £79.5 million to help the
three million Iraqis who have been displaced, and over eight million people in need,
many of whom have been victims of Daesh’s abuses and persecution.</p>
