Humanitarian Situation in Mosul

Debate between Bridget Phillipson and Priti Patel

Wednesday 12th July 2017 Commons Chamber

[Bridget Phillipson (Houghton and Sunderland South) (Lab)]

I join the right hon. Lady in paying tribute to our brave servicemen and women. I welcome her announcement about UK humanitarian aid, but what specific funding will be offered to women and girls who have been subject to the most unimaginable sexual violence of Daesh? We must do more to support them.

[Priti Patel]

I announced today that we will be providing the necessary humanitarian aid, but 46,000 vulnerable and displaced people, many of whom are women and girls who have been subject to such atrocities and violence, will also receive support through that money.
