Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Stephen Phillips (Conservative). It was answered by Nick Hurd (Conservative) on Wednesday, 29 June 2016 on behalf of the Department for International Development.


Burundian Refugee Safety

Question

What assessment she has made of the safety of people from Burundi in refugee camps in neighbouring countries.

Answer

May I associate myself with the remarks of the shadow Secretary of State about the Secretary of State, and with the remarks about standing in solidarity with Istanbul?

More than a quarter of a million Burundians have fled their country since 2015. We remain very concerned about their wellbeing, which is why we are the second largest bilateral donor to the regional refugee appeal.
