answer text <p>While the UK supports camp closures in line with the Rakhine Advisory Commission recommendations, we are concerned that Government of Myanmar has not granted freedom of movement. We are monitoring the situation closely with the international community and pressing for adherence with global best practice on camp closure.</p><p> </p><p>The UK provides humanitarian aid to all displaced peoples and host communities based on need, regardless of camp closure. The UK has provided £82m of humanitarian aid since 2012 to support internally displaced people (IDP) across Myanmar. Humanitarian access is limited but we are pioneering new ways to remotely manage and monitor the impact of our programmes, while continuing to press for access. We are also providing a further £13.5m development support to IDPs to improve nutrition, skills, and education and amplify the voice of displaced people in policy positions.</p> more like this
