	tabling member printed	Lord Judd
	uin	HL3440
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2017 answer text <p>My colleague, the Minister for Africa, Rory Stewart visited Kasai Central, in the DRC, in November 2017 to see for himself the impact of the conflict. 294,000 children are at risk of dying from malnutrition. UK bilateral aid is already supporting 25,800 children with lifesaving assistance. Over the next 5 years we will support a further 220,000 children under the age of 5 with vital nutrition. We support the World Food Programme (WFP) operated humanitarian air service ensuring that vital aid is delivered to those in need. However, the humanitarian appeal in DRC remains chronically underfunded. This needs an urgent international response and the UK Government is actively lobbying the international community to increase its response to this forgotten crisis.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 04/12/2017 15:43:04 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
