Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what support he is providing to refugees in countries neighbouring Sudan.

On 4 May, the UK Government announced an initial £5 million allocation to help meet the urgent needs of tens of thousands of refugees and returnees in South Sudan and Chad. This support will benefit the United Nation's Children Fund, the World Food Programme and non-governmental organisations. We will continue to monitor the situation in Sudan closely, including the humanitarian and security impacts of the conflict on neighbouring countries.
