<p>All of the UK's humanitarian aid is channelled through trusted, neutral and impartial humanitarian agencies who have a proven track record of delivering aid in complex operating environments. In order to minimise misappropriation of aid, we are working with multilateral agencies, such as the UN, or with International NGOs with whom we are carrying out due diligence checks. We are monitoring the situation inside Syria and the region to ensure UK aid is not misused. Our partners assure us that aid is reaching those in need despite the challenges.</p><p>In addition to, but clearly separate from, our humanitarian programme, the UK is providing practical support to Syrian civil society and opposition groups, with whom Her Majesty's Government have a continuing political and developmental relationship. We have put in place a mechanism to undertake vetting of these groups, prior to providing support.</p> |
