<p>The UK remains deeply concerned about the humanitarian situation throughout the
region, including for vulnerable groups such as women and children. We are aware of
a significant number of minors residing in refugee and internally displaced persons
camps in former Daesh held areas.</p><p>Limited access and harsh winter conditions
continue to exacerbate humanitarian need. Access to food, sanitation, healthcare,
shelter and education remain core concerns in the international response. In 2018/19,
we provided over £40 million to address basic-life saving needs in North East Syria.
Since 2014, DFID has committed over £250 million in humanitarian support to Iraq,
providing a vital lifeline of emergency food, shelter, medical care and clean water.</p>
