Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent assessment she has made of the adequacy of humanitarian assistance provided to Syrian refugees living in Lebanon given the overlapping economic, health, and political crises in that country.

The UK is committed to supporting Lebanon to meet the humanitarian needs of both refugees and vulnerable Lebanese communities, and to provide quality education to all children. The UK has been one of the leading donors in supporting Lebanon to host Syrian refugees and ensures our implementing partners target support on the basis of comprehensive needs assessments. Since 2011, the UK has allocated over £787 million in humanitarian and development funding to Lebanon. Our humanitarian assistance will continue to promote access to education and provide those most in need with timely, flexible assistance to cover their basic survival needs, saving lives and reducing suffering.
