Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Hylton (Crossbench). It was answered on Thursday, 16 February 2006.
Africa: Drought and Famine
- Question
- My Lords, I thank the noble Baroness the Leader of the House for her reply. Will she and her colleagues do their utmost—I am sure that they will—to ensure that food, water and medical care reach the affected people with the minimum possible delay, given that some of these people are living in very remote areas?
- Answer
-
My Lords, yes. The crisis is not just about food but about water and health services. Malnutrition rates are high, and urgent action is required to ensure that help reaches those in the greatest need. We will continue to do all that we can to ensure that that happens, and we will try to ensure that other donors come on board.
