Funding is allocated continually throughout the crisis.
We respond through the consolidated appeals process on an annual basis, but we also respond as needs increase and the needs assessments change throughout the year. It's a continual disbursement of funds to the UN appeals and to the International Committee of the Red Cross and Red Crescent family, as well as through non-governmental organizations, to meet needs on the ground as they are identified.
We provide funding to respond through trusted humanitarian partners, for example, the World Food Programme. They respond throughout, in this case the country of Iraq, as needs are identified by them and where the greatest degree of vulnerability exists. Canadian funding has gone to support the needs of the most vulnerable throughout the crisis.
