To ask the Secretary of State for International Development if she will raise at the UN the prospects of severe famine in South Sudan.
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development if she will raise at the UN the prospects of severe famine in South Sudan.
The UK is extremely concerned about the humanitarian situation in South Sudan. The ongoing conflict, which has led to the displacement of over 900,000 people within the country, limited the ability of people to plant their crops, and disrupted trade and local markets. There is concern that those in conflict-affected states will experience famine later this year.
The UK is taking a leading role in responding to the crisis. We have so far contributed £20 million to the United Nations and international non-governmental organisations for emergency humanitarian assistance inside South Sudan. We are considering additional support. We will continue to take every opportunity, including in the United Nations, to raise our concerns about the deteriorating humanitarian situation.
