Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent assessment he has made of the (a) humanitarian situation in Libya and (b) effect of the war in that country on the development of its young people.

All parties to the conflict must respect the current ceasefire, ensure humanitarian access, and return to the UN-led political process. The Berlin Conference on 19 January, attended by the Prime Minister, showed wide international support for these aims.

The UK provided £1 million to the UN Flash Appeal in 2019. The UN released $2 million from the UN Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) in 2019 to provide life-saving assistance to civilians caught up in the fighting, including vulnerable migrants and refugees. The UK was the biggest donor to the CERF in 2018, providing £114.3 million.
