Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what development assistance they provided to Eritrea in (1) 2019, and (2) 2020; and what development assistance they plan to provide to that country in future.
UK Aid provided £3.24 million to UNICEF in 2018/19 and £4.00 million in 2019/20 to treat malnutrition in under-fives and provide access to safe hygiene and sanitation services in Eritrea. We will continue to support UNICEF Eritrea in 2020/21. We are deeply concerned about the worsening humanitarian situation in Eritrea and will continue to monitor needs.
