The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment she has made of the impact of the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan on the health and wellbeing of children in that country.

Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer

The UK remains deeply concerned about the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan and it remains one of our largest humanitarian programmes. The £154 million we allocated to Afghanistan in the last financial year ensured continued access to health, nutrition and education programmes for vulnerable children. We continue to engage regularly with international and regional partners on the humanitarian situation.
