Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
What assessment he has made of the effect of covid-19 on forcibly displaced people in fragile and developing countries.
Crowded conditions where social distancing, regular handwashing and self-isolation are difficult, and mean refugees and displaced people are among the most vulnerable. UK funding is helping to install handwashing stations, isolation and treatment centres, providing protection and education services and improved access to clean water for displaced people
We will continue to ensure displaced people are factored into the global COVID response, including access to national testing, health-care and prioritisation of vaccines.
