Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the humanitarian situation in Myanmar following the earthquake on 28 March, the continuing conflict, and the cuts in US and other international aid; and what action they are taking to respond to the humanitarian needs in that country.

The UK has committed £25 million in life-saving support for people affected by the earthquake in Myanmar. In the six months since the earthquake, UK-funded assistance including lifesaving aid, has reached over one million people, 56 per cent of whom are women and girls, and 154 clinics have been set up with UK funding. Overcoming challenges regarding humanitarian access, the UK continues to deliver aid to the hardest hit areas, directing over 65 per cent of the funding to local organisations on the ground in Myanmar. The UK will continue to support Myanmar with official development assistance (ODA) in the current financial year 2025 to 2026 set to be over £80 million.
