Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, whether his Department is taking steps to help support refugees from Sudan.

The UK is working with the UN, other donors and humanitarian agencies to coordinate the effective delivery of aid to Sudan, including to support over 7.4 million people who have been displaced by the conflict. Since 15 April, over 1.5 million people are estimated to have fled Sudan to neighbouring countries since fighting broke out. We are helping those fleeing Sudan to neighbouring countries, with £7.75 million to South Sudan. This includes a £3.5 million allocation for food security in the Maban refugee camps, and £15 million to Chad.
