The Department for International Development does not provide any financial support to the Government of Iraq, in loans, through the international development budget, or through other international bodies to support reconstruction of areas recaptured from ISIL.

Since summer 2014, DFID has committed £59.5 million to help address the needs of the 8.6 million people across Iraq that require some form of humanitarian assistance. This funding is delivered via UN agencies and humanitarian organisations.
