We are also supporting 7,500 children, many of whom are at risk of sexual violence and trafficking.</p> answering member constituency Witham answering member printed Priti Patel question first answered 17/10/2017 12:45:17 answering member 4066 label Biography information for Priti Patel

The relentless denial of aid is a matter of life and death for those still in northern Rakhine. I have repeatedly called on the Burmese authorities to stop the violence in Rakhine state, and to allow full and unfettered humanitarian access to provide a lifeline to all those living in Rakhine State. Government officials continue to raise this at the highest levels with the Burmese Government.</p> answering member constituency Witham answering member printed Priti Patel question first answered 17/10/2017 12:41:27 answering member 4066 label Biography information for Priti Patel
