<p>In countries with live conflicts such as Iraq, Syria and Yemen it is especially
difficult for DFID to operate and monitor delivery. In these countries, DFID finances
partners that have experience of delivering successfully and in conformity with international
humanitarian principles in conflict environments. In addition, in Syria and Yemen
(where HMG staff are unable to travel), we have contracted independent monitoring
agencies to provide objective evidence of programme delivery.</p><p>DFID's results
in the Middle East include helping 3.6 million people in Syria to sustainably access
clean water and sanitation and 182 thousand children in Syria to gain a decent education.
In Iraq DFID has helped 42,000 people access emergency life-saving medical care and
provided safe drinking water for more than 200,000 people. In Yemen 1.1 million women,
adolescent girls and children under five have been reached through nutrition related
interventions.</p><p>DFID’s partners do not identify or record beneficiaries by their
religious affiliation or ethnicity.</p>
