Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, how much humanitarian aid the UK is offering to support victims of Islamic State in Northern Iraq.
DFID is leading the UK’s humanitarian response and is getting life-saving aid to people across Northern and Central Iraq who have fled ISIL terrorists. In addition to the £13 million already pledged, I announced a further £10 million of support during my recent visit to Iraq. Over £18m of this is specifically focused on helping those in Northern Iraq.
