Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what humanitarian and medical aid is being sent to southern Cameroon.

There is currently no request for international humanitarian aid in southern Cameroon. DFID is monitoring the situation closely in coordination with the UN and the International Committee of the Red Cross; our assessment is that medical services in the southern region are able to cope without additional international support.

DFID is providing humanitarian aid in northern Cameroon to 238,000 refugees affected by the Lake Chad Basin Crisis, as well as to 216,000 refugees from the Central African Republic in eastern Cameroon.
