Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what recent assessment her Department has made of the humanitarian situation in Cameroon.

There are significant humanitarian needs in Cameroon with over 460,000 people displaced by recent violence in the Anglophone regions, in addition to the 700,000 people displaced as a result of insecurity both in the far north around Lake Chad and in the Central African Republic. More than 3.3 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance. We are providing £5.5 million in humanitarian support to Cameroon this year, including for protection, nutrition, health, food security and livelihoods.
