The Government is in close contact with partner agencies, including the UN, on the
humanitarian situation in Iraq. We have not received any information or requests that
would suggest that humanitarian assistance is required on Mount Sinjar but we continue
to monitor the situation closely. The Government is providing £39.5 million of humanitarian
assistance in response to the crisis in Iraq. All UK aid is distributed on the basis
of need to ensure that civilians are not discriminated against on the grounds of race,
religion or ethnicity.
