	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2024 answer text <p>Ethiopia hosts nearly 1 million refugees of whom 43%, roughly 420,000 people, originate from South Sudan. The vast majority of South Sudanese refugees in Ethiopia reside in seven camps in Gambella region. Refugees experience pressing humanitarian hardships in Gambella due to a combination of factors including recurrent flooding exacerbated by a shortage of donor funding. Between 2022 and 2023 aid agencies recorded a near doubling of cases of severe acute malnutrition among children under five years at Kule refugee camp. The UK is lobbying humanitarian agencies to ensure aid is prioritised effectively and reaches the most vulnerable.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 12/03/2024 16:12:07 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell
