Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what funding her Department has allocated to mental health support for Rohingya refugees living in Cox’s Bazar.
Up to March 2018, the £59m first tranche of UK funding to the humanitarian crisis included support to ACF and UNICEF to provide emergency psychosocial support to adults and adolescents; play sessions to ease stress and trauma for children under 16 years; and established child friendly spaces for 34,019 children.
In March 2018, a further tranche of £70m was announced and included funding to UNHCR and UNICEF to provide support to adolescents with life-skill based education and safe spaces, and support sexual and gender-based survivors with appropriate assistance.
