Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what estimate she has made of the numbers of internally displaced Sunni former residents of Iraqi cities taken over by ISIL.
This question was answered on 5th March 2015
The United Nations estimates that there are almost 2.5 million internally displaced people (IDPs) in Iraq. We do not hold data on the religious, ethnic nor geographic background of IDPs.
The UK is extremely concerned by the plight of people displaced due to the advance of ISIL in Iraq, and to date has provided £39.5 million to help address the humanitarian situation.
