Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what action they have taken during the past two weeks to ensure that shelter, food supplies, clean water and other essentials are being adequately provided for English speaking victims of violence, threatened violence and conflict in Cameroon.

On 13^th December we announced a £2.5m contribution to the UN appeal for the Anglophone crisis in Cameroon, with £2 million disbursed immediately to UNICEF. This support will begin to: treat 1,300 children who are most at risk of dying from severe acute malnutrition; provide essential drugs to treat 5,700 children for deadly diseases such as malaria, diarrhoea, and acute respiratory infections; provide 10,000 people with water and sanitation kits including water purification supplies and other household items including washable sanitary napkins and tooth brushes; provide 2,000 mosquito-nets to prevent malaria; vaccinate 3,500 children against measles; and identify and support many unaccompanied children.
