Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what resources her Department is providing for the reconstruction of Kobane.

No significant reconstruction is yet underway in Kobane, and unexploded ordnance continues to prove a real danger. In the current circumstances a humanitarian corridor is unlikely to be a viable or effective means of meeting needs, since the main obstacle to providing humanitarian aid to Kobane is unexploded ordnance.
