Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to provide humanitarian assistance to (1) Cameroonian refugees, (2) internally displaced persons, and (3) other refugees in Cameroon.

We are providing at least £5 million in humanitarian assistance this year to refugees and internally displaced persons as a result of the Lake Chad Basin crisis, and to refugees from the Central African Republic in Cameroon. This includes basic support in nutrition, health, food security and livelihoods. 21,291 Cameroonian refugees in Nigeria are being supported by UNHCR, which DFID supports through their core budget. Additionally, the EU Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations is providing €300,000, which the UK also contributes to.
