Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what support the UK Government has provided to help people affected by the 2017 floods and mudslides in Freetown, Sierra Leone.

The UK allocated up to £5m to provide clean water, sanitation services and hygiene kits to prevent a cholera outbreak; essential health and psychosocial services; and food and clothing to those affected, especially children. We also helped families to re-establish their lives by finding new accommodation and ensuring their children could return to school.
