Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what support the Government is providing to disabled children in Ukraine who are unable to leave that country.

The UK Government has committed £220 million of humanitarian funding to those affected by Russia's invasion in Ukraine. The priority for UK funding is to support the most vulnerable people, including women, children, the elderly and disabled in Ukraine and in the region around Ukraine.

Our pledge includes over £140 million to UN and Red Cross Agencies, including £15 million to UNICEF and £25 million in matched funding to the Disasters Emergency Committee Appeal (DEC). Our flexible funding to the UN allows them to support the most in need in Ukraine, including disabled children. More than 26 thousand children with disabilities have been reached by UNICEF cash assistance. In line with humanitarian principles, we will continue to work with our partners to prioritise support to the most in need, which will include disabled children in Ukraine.
