Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what recent support his Department has provided to people in Somalia affected by drought.

The UK is a leading donor to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Somalia. We recently donated £8 million to UNICEF, WFP and FAO to provide clean water, food and nutrition to over 500,000 people most affected by the current drought. We continue to actively monitor the situation and are considering what further support might be required.
