<p>The UK strongly believes that displaced persons camps in Syria, including Al-Hol,
Al Roj and Rukban, should not become permanent, and hope that all Syrians currently
living in such camps will be able to return home in due course. We support Syrians’
right to return home voluntarily, in safety and with dignity, in line with international
humanitarian law, but only when conditions are right for this to happen.</p><p> </p><p>For
many, returns will not be possible without an end to the conflict in Syria. We continue
to support the UN-facilitated political process for Syria, which aims to reach a lasting
settlement to the conflict that protects the rights of all Syrians. Alongside this,
we are also using UK Aid to support those who do wish to return home from IDP camps.
For example, we are supporting education, vocational training and job creation, and
contributing to the restoration of basic services. However, for the millions of Syrians
who do currently remain in IDP camps across Syria, we continue to provide life-saving
assistance, including providing essential food, water and sanitation, shelter and
healthcare.</p>
