(asked on 1st June 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what recent representations she has made to her counterpart in South Sudan on the protection of aid workers from violence in that country.
This question was answered on 7th June 2018
South Sudan is one of the most dangerous operating environments in the world for humanitarian workers, with at least 100 killed since the conflict began in 2013.
Violence against those individuals delivering lifesaving assistance is completely unacceptable, and the UK has consistently made clear to South Sudan’s leaders that this must stop. We raise this issue regularly at Ministerial level.
