Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the looting and burning of the UN World Food Programme warehouse in the state of Rakhine, Myanmar; and whether they will take any steps in response.

The UK condemns all attacks on humanitarian infrastructure. In July, through a UN Press statement, the UK along with international partners, called on all actors in the conflict and the Myanmar Armed Forces in particular, to respect international law and to prioritise the protection of humanitarian infrastructure. We monitor the situation in Rakhine State closely.
