<p>DFID provides bilateral and multilateral funding to several agencies in order to meet the assistance and protection needs of refugees and internally displaced persons, including those in urban situations. These agencies include the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), UN Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the International Organisation for Migration (IOM). This funding enables agencies to respond to ongoing and unforeseen humanitarian situations, including those in urban settings such as the situation in Syria and neighbouring countries.</p> |
