Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what assistance her Department has offered Syrian Kurds in exile in Turkey.
Since the start of the Syria crisis, DFID has allocated £24.2 million to support Syrian refugees in Turkey. DFID has also responded to the urgent needs of the newly arrived Syrian refugees fleeing ISIL advances on Kobane, working with the relevant authorities and our partners to provide mattresses, non-food items and shelter for the most needy families. We stand ready to respond positively should further aid be needed.
