Additionally, the funds will be used to rehabilitate essential services like water supplies, hospitals, and schools.
To assist Syrians in neighboring countries, £10 million will go to the World Food Programme (WFP) in Lebanon, while £10 million will support efforts in Jordan through both WFP and the U.N. refugee agency.
