Tigray: Medical Equipment
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether his Department has taken recent steps to (a) mobilise and (b) deliver medical supplies to Tigray.
- Answer
-
We welcome the commitment made in the 2 November peace agreement by both the Ethiopian Government and the Tigray People's Liberation Front to unfettered humanitarian access to all parts of Tigray.
In the last nineteen months the UK has provided nearly £90 million of life-saving aid to communities across Ethiopia affected by crises. This support has provided emergency health supplies for 1 million people across Ethiopia. Through the recently announced package of £14 million humanitarian support, funding is expected to reach up to 150,000 people with comprehensive health, water sanitation, hygiene and nutrition services across Ethiopia including Tigray.
