Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask Her Majesty's Government how much money they have committed to date to assist with the Rohingya refugee crisis.
The UK is the largest bilateral donor to the Rohingya refugee crisis. In addition to the £35m the UK had committed since the start of this crisis, on October 23rd the UK announced a further £12m of support, bringing the UK total to £47m. This funding is already delivering important relief on the ground, including providing food to 174,000 people, safe water and sanitation for more than 138,000 people and emergency shelter for over 130,000 people. In addition, emergency nutrition support will reach more than 60,000 children under five and 21,000 pregnant and lactating women, counselling and psychological support will reach over 10,000 women suffering from the trauma of war and over 2,000 survivors of sexual violence, and provide medical assistance for over 50,000 pregnant women.
