Somalia: Droughts

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what recent support his Department has provided to people in Somalia affected by drought.

Answer

The UK is a leading donor to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Somalia.

We continue to actively monitor the situation and are considering what further support might be required.
