Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what steps her Department is taking to support disabled people in refugee camps.

DFID published its first Disability Inclusion Strategy in 2018, committing to strive for equitable access to essential humanitarian services for all people with disabilities, including refugees and the forcibly displaced. Our support ranges from rehabilitation services, wheelchairs and prosthetic limbs for refugees in Jordan and Lebanon, through to community help desks, accessible latrines and supported food distribution in camps in Tanzania and in Uganda. We provide mental health and psychosocial support, including matching donations to War Child to support 400 children traumatised by war in the Central African Republic. We are also pressing the UN’s Refugee Agency to ensure protection and assistance programmes are accessible to all vulnerable groups, including those with disabilities.
