An assessment from the UN Relief and Works Agency indicates that nine out of thirteen schools built using DFID funding sustained damage during the recent conflict in Palestine.<\/p>

To ensure maximum impact from our contribution, DFID\u2019s infrastructure funding in Afghanistan is largely channelled through multi-donor trust funds, including the World Bank-managed Afghanistan Reconstruction Trust Fund (ARTF) and the Asian Development Bank-managed Afghanistan Infrastructure Trust Fund. There are thirty-three donors to the ARTF, making it difficult to directly attribute all infrastructure projects to specific countries. It is therefore not possible to provide figures in the form requested.<\/p>

The ex-gratia redundancy scheme includes an offer of relocation to the UK for locally employed Afghan staff who meet the relevant eligibility criteria. Staff are relocated through a bespoke immigration arrangement, not connected to the UK refugee system. This system ensures that identity, health and security concerns are addressed without unreasonable delays. There are no plans to offer Afghan staff refugee status, which would not be appropriate to their circumstances.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3428", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Astor of Hever"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Astor of Hever"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2014-12-01", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-12-01T16:16:22.023Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "11"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-11-18", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Afghanistan: Interpreters"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty\u2019s Government whether they will accelerate the conclusion of requests for resettlement by Afghan interpreters and other personnel employed by the United Kingdom, either by offering refugee status in the United Kingdom or by assisted resettlement in other countries.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/2018", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Hylton"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Hylton"} ], "uin" : "HL2923"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/155380", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for International Development"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/155380/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
We assist the residents of Shatila and eleven other refugee camps in Lebanon by providing funding to international Non-Governmental Organisations and to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), the coordination agency for humanitarian assistance to Palestinian refugees in Lebanon and the region. We have committed £133.7 million for humanitarian activities in Lebanon to date and are the third largest bilateral donor to UNRWA.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
UK funding provides cash to help urban refugees rent private sector accommodation. This moderates the numbers of refugees in camps and eases the pressures of overcrowding. To improve safety and security in camps we are supporting projects to address the causes of security challenges and respond to them when they arise. Medical care for camp populations is mostly provided through UNWRA. UNRWA spends 18% of its budget on healthcare provision and runs 27 health clinics for the refugee population offering services both in camps and in the urban environment. Our assistance to refugees in Lebanon forms part of wider UK action in the region. Since the onset of the Syria crisis the UK has committed £700 million for humanitarian activities in Syria and neighbouring states. Syrian refugees, Palestinian refugees formerly resident in Syria and host communities benefit from this funding.<\/p>

All UK aid partners responding on the ground in Syria and in refugee hosting countries target the most vulnerable individuals caught up in conflict \u2013 particularly women, children, people with disabilities and the elderly. Programmes are designed in close collaboration with disabled people and their families to ensure due consideration of their particular needs and all new DFID projects must demonstrate compliance with the International Development Gender Equality Bill.<\/p>

In the 2013/14 financial year (the most recently-completed year), on 25th June 2013, the Home Office paid the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) £189,920.25.<\/p>
This was a grant payment, relating to 25% of the agreed budget for the 2011 Gateway programme. The IOM makes all the arrangements on the United Kingdom\u2019s behalf for pre-arrival costs for the Gateway programme, and we reimburse them in line with the grant agreement. This represented the final payment for that period, which was due to the IOM, and was paid after their cost reports had been audited.<\/p>

The Government is deeply concerned about the situations in Syria and Iraq, and is taking action to help those displaced by these crises. The Government believes that humanitarian aid and actively seeking to end the conflicts are the most effective ways for the UK to help the majority of those displaced. To date we have committed £700 million to the humanitarian crisis in Syria, and £23 million in aid to Iraq, helping to support hundred of thousands of people. We also support efforts to find a political solution to the Syrian conflict, and we are working with the Iraqi government and the international community to tackle the threat posed by ISIL and promote an inclusive, sovereign and democratic Iraq which will protect all Iraqi citizens.<\/p>
To complement our humanitarian aid, we operate the Syrian Vulnerable Persons Relocation scheme to relocate the most vulnerable displaced Syrians who cannot be supported effectively long term in the region to the UK. The scheme prioritises help for those in need of medical care, as well as women and children at risk and survivors of torture and violence. Beneficiaries are granted five years\u2019 Humanitarian Protection with all the rights and benefits that go with that status, including access to public funds, access to the labour market and the possibility of family reunion. We also operate an immigration concession for Syrian nationals who are already legally present in the UK to enable them to extend their stay or switch immigration category without leaving the UK.<\/p>
Under our normal asylum rules, the Government also carefully considers each asylum application lodged in the UK, including those made by Syrian and Iraqi nationals, on its individual merits, to ensure we grant protection to those who genuinely need it. Those recognised as refugees are granted five years\u2019 leave, with rights to family reunion and access to free medical care. The Government believes that this approach is the best way to help Syrian and Iraqi nationals who have left their countries, and we therefore have no current plans to extend these measures.<\/p>
