Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what recent assessment she has made of the situation of refugees affected by conflict in Syria and Iraq.

We are deeply concerned about the humanitarian situation in Syria, Iraq and the region. The UN estimates that 7.6 million people are internally displaced in Syria and a further 2.9 million people are internally displaced in Iraq. There are over 3.9 million Syrian refugees in neighbouring countries.
