Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps she is taking to help support people displaced in Chad following recent violence in Cameroon over fishing, pastoral, and agricultural resources.

We are aware of the recent influx of Cameroonian refugees into Chad and continue to monitor this. The UK is providing life-saving humanitarian support through the UN's Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) for protection and basic needs.

We are concerned by instances of intercommunal violence in the Far North of Cameroon, and the impact this has on communities across the Lake Chad Basin. We urge all to engage in dialogue to de-escalate the situation, and ensure delivery of vital humanitarian assistance.
