UK ANNOUNCES £50 MILLION NEW SUPPORT FOR VULNERABLE SYRIANS

 * English
 * العربيَّة

UK announces £50 million package of international aid to help the most
vulnerable Syrians, including refugees across the region.

From: Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, The Rt Hon Anneliese Dodds MP
and The Rt Hon David Lammy MP Published 15 December 2024

 * UK announces £50 million package of international aid to help the most
   vulnerable Syrians, including refugees across the region  
 * £120,000 of UK funding has also  been made available to the Organisation of
   the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) 
 * UK agrees to a set of core principles with inclusion and the protection of
   human rights as key considerations

The UK has today (Sunday 15 December) committed £50 million of humanitarian aid
to support the Syrian people in their hour of need as part of efforts to build
long-term security and stability across the Middle East.  

Following the welcome fall of Bashar Al-Assad’s regime, the Foreign Secretary
has announced new emergency aid that will be delivered through UN and NGO
agencies to help the most vulnerable Syrians, both in Syria, and in Lebanon and
Jordan. 

The UK joined talks in Aqaba yesterday, hosted by Jordan and attended by
ministers and representatives of the Arab Contact Group, Bahrain, Qatar, Turkey,
the United Arab Emirates, the European Union, United Nations, France, Germany
and the US, where participants expressed commitment to principles that they
believe are in the best interests of the Syrian people, the region and the world
at this critical time.

This includes the need for an inclusive, non-sectarian and representative
government formed through a process based on the principles of UN Security
Council resolution 2254 and support for the UN Special Envoy mandate.
Participants stressed the need for protection of human rights, unfettered access
for humanitarian aid, safe destruction of chemical weapons stockpiles and
importance of combatting terrorism and extremism. The UK urges the transitional
government to adhere to these principles to build a more hopeful, secure and
peaceful Syria.  

UK funding will enable an urgent scale-up of humanitarian assistance when needs
are at their highest, and support delivery of essential public services in
Syria. In addition, urgent humanitarian support to Lebanon and Jordan will
reduce the likelihood of vulnerable Syrians having to make perilous journeys to
leave Syria and the region. 

In Syria, where over 16 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance,
£30 million of UK support will help provide immediate help to more than a
million people including food, shelter, emergency healthcare, and protection for
the most vulnerable, as well as support emerging needs including the
rehabilitation of essential services such as water, hospitals and schools.  

Alongside the humanitarian announcement, the Foreign Secretary has also set out
new funding to support the OPCW’s work in Syria. The use of chemical weapons in
Syria under the Assad regime exacted a horrendous human toll and must never be
repeated. A £120,000 package for the OPCW will support its missions to rid Syria
of chemical weapons and help the interim Syrian Government fulfil its commitment
to protect chemical weapons sites and never use these weapons under any
circumstances.  

Foreign Secretary David Lammy said:  

> The fall of the horrific Assad Regime provides a once-in-a-generation chance
> for the people of Syria.  
> 
> We’re committed to supporting the Syrian people as they chart a new course.
> First, by providing £50 million in new food, healthcare and aid to support the
> humanitarian needs of vulnerable Syrians. Second, by working diplomatically to
> help secure better governance in Syria’s future.
> 
> This weekend the UK and its partners came together to agree the principles
> required to support a Syrian-led transitional political process. It is vital
> that the future Syrian government brings together all groups to establish the
> stability and respect the Syrian people deserve.

Anneliese Dodds, Minister for Development, said: 

> The humanitarian situation in parts of Syria is dire, and there are large
> numbers of Syrian refugees in neighbouring countries.
> 
> This speedy aid will support Syrians in immediate need including with
> emergency healthcare and food, and will provide psychosocial and educational
> support for displaced Syrian children.

The remaining money in the package will be split between £10 million for the
World Food Programme (WFP) in Lebanon and £10 million in Jordan through WFP and
the UN’s Refugee Agency, UNHCR, to help Syrian refugees hosted in those
countries.  

Since 2012, the UK has provided over £4.3 billion in aid to assist Syrians
across the region (Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq, and Egypt).

This weekend’s talks in Jordan follow a week of intensive engagement with
regional partners following the fall of the regime. The Prime Minister met
counterparts in the region on a visit to the Gulf this week and has spoken with
G7 partners; and the Foreign Secretary has held a range of calls with the
Turkish, Qatari, Israeli, Iraqi and Jordanian Foreign Ministers as well as the
UN Special Representative for Syria.   


BACKGROUND

Within the £30 million of humanitarian aid in Syria, up to £24 million will be
provided to the UN including supporting:

 * UNICEF (Education, Health, Nutrition, Water and Sanitation and Child
   Protection) 
 * UNFPA (SGBV Prevention, Protection of Women and Girls, Mental Health &

 * the UK-supported emergency Health NGO (emergency trauma and healthcare,
   mobile health clinics)  
 * another Multi-Donor Pooled Fund, The Aid Fund for Northern Syria
   (multi-sector emergency needs)
