Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, whether the UK's contribution to humanitarian assistance for Rohingya refugees includes resources to improve lighting in the Cox’s Bazar refugee camp; and if she will make a statement.
UK funding to ICRC has supported: light installation in 53 gender segregated latrines and bathing spaces; 13 newly constructed latrine blocks with solar lighting; 115 street lights; 8,500 solar lamps, with priority to women and girls; and 5,000 solar lanterns for Rohingya, with plans to distribute a further 36,000 solar lanterns this year. Funding to IOM and Christian Aid will support the installation of solar lamps in camps covering almost 10,000 refugees.
