	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/07/2015 answer text <p>The UK is one of the largest humanitarian donors in Kachin State. Between 2012 and 2015 DFID has allocated over £17 million for humanitarian assistance for internally displaced persons (IDP) in Kachin and Northern Shan States, including in non-government controlled areas. We do not have figures for how much funding for the needs of internally displaced people in Kachin state is being provided by the Burmese government. The UN appeal for humanitarian assistance across Burma is currently only 27% funded. We regularly monitor the situation in the camps, including a visit by a DFID team in June 2015 to non-government controlled areas.</p> answering member constituency New Forest West answering member printed Mr Desmond Swayne question first answered 08/07/2015 14:32:21 answering member 55 label Biography information for Sir Desmond Swayne
