Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what steps her Department is taking to support the people and Government of Somaliland in the aftermath of Cyclone Sagar.

The UK is one of the largest humanitarian donors in Somalia. DFID funded partners have pre-positioned relief supplies in Somaliland for use in the aftermath of Cyclone Sagar. These include water treatment kits, tents, health and nutrition supplies that can cater for more than 400,000 people. Airlifts of supplies to flood-affected areas are also underway, funded in part by UKAid. Our partners are undertaking needs assessments to determine the full extent of destruction caused.
