Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what humanitarian support is being provided by her Department to Sudanese refugees currently based outside of Sudan.

I refer the Rt Hon Member to the statement provided to the House by the Foreign Secretary on 5 February after her visit to the Sudan-Chad border. Last May, the UK announced £36 million of dedicated funding to support Sudanese refugees in eastern Chad, helping to ease pressure on host communities and deliver food, health, water and protection assistance through trusted partners.
