Tuesday 26th July 2016

Asked by: Lord Sheikh (Conservative - Life peer)

Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what humanitarian support and assistance they have (1) provided, and (2) plan to provide, for South Sudanese refugees in Sudan.

Answered by Baroness Anelay of St Johns

Since 2014, DFID Sudan has provided £10.4 million to address the humanitarian needs of South Sudanese refugees arriving in Sudan. The assistance has been in the areas of emergency food distribution, water and sanitation, education, and protection activities in the areas of White Nile State and Kordofan states. We are currently discussing with humanitarian partners in Sudan further contributions of approximately £3 million to be disbursed in the coming months.

We will continue to monitor the situation and provide further support if required.
