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 Haiti following reports of a cholera outbreak in that country.

The FCDO is engaging with international partners and NGOs to help contain the spread of cholera throughout the world. Through our contributions to the UN and other international organisations, we are assisting the Haitian Government's efforts to address systemic in-country issues which have exacerbated their recent outbreak.

The difficult security situation in Haiti has impeded the transport of supplies, including fuel, which means sanitation facilities in some areas have ceased functioning. We are using our platform within the UN Security Council to help stabilise Haiti so international support can reach people in need.
