answer text <p>In May 2015, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) assessed that 4.6million people (40% of the population) of South Sudan would be in IPC Phases of Crisis or Emergency from May to July 2015. This assessment did not take into account the subsequent fighting which erupted in Unity State in May and has left up to a million people without access to vital humanitarian aid. To respond to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in South Sudan, the UK announced £40million of funding on 16<sup>th</sup> June 2015. This is in addition to the UK’s existing commitment of £132.5m in South Sudan (and a further £58.9 million for South Sudanese refugees in the region) since December 2013. Further funding is being considered.</p><p> </p><p>The South Sudan Humanitarian Response Plan has sought $1.63 billion to meet the most urgent needs until the end of 2015 and it is so far 49% funded. The UK Government continues to urge the international community to respond as we have and follow our lead.</p><p> </p><p> </p>

answer text <p>DFID is working closely with the Government of Iraq and the UN to provide humanitarian assistance to the almost 2.5 million internally displaced people (IDP) across Iraq. While we are determined that people will be able to return home to a stable, safe and secure environment, for the majority of IDPs this is not yet possible. The UK will continue to work with the Government of Iraq and international partners to ensure adequate planning is in place to allow IDPs to return home at such a time as it is safe to do so.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>Since May 2010, DFID Sierra Leone has supported the distribution of 2.3 million long lasting insecticide treated bed nets (LLINs) through two nationwide campaigns completed in June 2011 and May 2014. The aim of these campaigns was to achieve universal coverage of LLINs in Sierra Leone as the most effective means of preventing malaria. A rapid assessment following the 2014 distribution campaign found that 81% of households visited nationwide were using at least one mosquito net, up from 37% in 2008. However, an evaluation designed to assess the longer term effectiveness of the campaign has been postponed due to the Ebola crisis. In addition, the Global Fund has provided a further 600,000 nets.</p><p> </p> more like this
