Tigray: Famine

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what resources they are providing to the administration in Tigray to assist with the famine in that area; and what steps they are taking to increase such resources.

Answer

We welcome the recent peace agreement between the Government of Ethiopia and the Tigray People's Liberation Front. We hope this will lead to unfettered humanitarian access and the restoration of essential basic services. In the last eighteen months the UK has provided almost £90 million of humanitarian support to people affected by crises throughout Ethiopia. Our support has reached civilians in Tigray and other regions.
