UK support is helping to make areas affected by conflict safe, repair basic infrastructure and rebuild homes so that families who have been displaced by violence can return home safely and restart their lives.<\/p>
The UK provides funding to repair housing damaged during the conflict in Iraq through the UN\u2019s Fund for Stabilization (FFS) mechanism. As well as focussing on housing, the FFS funds projects to rehabilitate critical infrastructure, restore basic services such as water and electricity and provide livelihood opportunities in recently liberated areas. The UK has provided £5.68 million to the FFS so far this year; this includes the £1.68 million announced by my department in September which has been specifically earmarked for the repair of over 1,000 homes in West Mosul.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1201", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Alistair Burt"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "North East Bedfordshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Alistair Burt"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-11-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-11-23T17:56:48.99Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "20"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "International Development"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "International Development"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-11-16", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Iraq: Housing"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what assistance her Department is giving to provide accommodation to replace homes that have been destroyed in Iraq.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1566", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Daniel Kawczynski"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Shrewsbury and Atcham"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Daniel Kawczynski"} ], "uin" : "113642"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/790141", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for International Development"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/790141/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs\u2019 2017 Humanitarian Response Plan assessed that 1.1 million of Gaza\u2019s population and 0.5 million in the West Bank are acutely vulnerable and in need of humanitarian assistance in 2017; and report that a lack of funding for water, sanitation and hygiene interventions have left 1.45 million Gazans at risk of waterborne diseases.<\/p>
I visited Gaza and the West Bank in August and saw the extent of the humanitarian situation first hand. The UK is supporting approximately 1 million Gazans by addressing critical water, sanitation and hygiene needs through the United Nations Children\u2019s Fund.

In response to the 2011 Humanitarian Emergency Response Review, DFID committed to embed disaster resilience within all country programmes, influencing DFID\u2019s overall bilateral spend, rather than having a separate funding line for disaster risk reduction.<\/p>
More recently, the UK\u2019s new Humanitarian Reform Policy continues our commitment to build resilience. It has identified managing risk better as a critical pillar of an improved global response to humanitarian crises, this includes a commitment to:<\/p>
\u201c<\/em>Anticipate and track the risk of crises, including conflicts, natural disasters and epidemics, and ensure UK funding is allocated according to risk and need.\u201d <\/em><\/p> <\/p>"}
