Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what support is being provided to aid agencies to help Syrians being evacuated from Aleppo.

We are providing life-saving support to thousands of people who have left East Aleppo or been caught up in the fighting. Through UN humanitarian agencies and NGO partners we are delivering the full range of relief, including hot meals, clean water, shelter, and healthcare. This is funded through the £2.3 billion that we have pledged in response to the Syria crisis, our largest ever response to a single humanitarian crisis.

The Prime Minister announced on 16 December that Britain will commit an additional £20 million of lifesaving support which will go to some of the hardest to reach places in Syria - including Aleppo, and to Syrian refugees and host communities in Jordan.
