Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what steps she has taken to ensure that aid to Syrian and Iraqi refugees reaches Kurdish and Yazidi refugees living in Suruc Municipality in Turkey.

We have pledged £700 million to date in response to the crisis in Syria and the wider region, of which £24.2 million has been allocated to partners working inside Turkey in response to the refugee influx. DFID assistance is based on responding to need irrespective of ethnicity.
