Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what steps the UK Government is taking to help support communities in Cameroon affected by the political situation in that country.

The UK is deeply concerned about the situation in Cameroon and the deteriorating security situation in the Anglophone regions of the country. Today we have announced a £2m contribution to the humanitarian response in the Anglophone regions of Cameroon which will support 10,000 people in hard to reach areas with essential assistance including medical care and non-food items. The UK will continue to work alongside the international community to encourage and support efforts to resolve the Anglophone crisis.
