Chad: Humanitarian Aid

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment she has made of the level of humanitarian need in Chad.

Answered by Chris Elmore

The conflict in Sudan has so far forced over 1.3 million people over the border into Chad, placing significant pressure on already vulnerable communities.

During her visit to the border region in February, the Foreign Secretary pledged the UK’s continued support for humanitarian relief efforts, including £56 million of bilateral support for Chad in the last financial year.

But we know that funding alone cannot resolve this crisis. That is why we continue to work intensively alongside our international partners to seek an end to the conflict and an urgent increase in humanitarian access.
