<p>The UK is a leading donor to the humanitarian effort in Bangladesh, having committed
£129m to help since last August. Our help has ensured 391,000 children under the age
of seven have been vaccinated, 450,000 people have benefited from support to make
their shelters more resistant to heavy rain, and our aid will ensure 250,000 people
will continue to have access to safe water through the rainy season. We are supporting
30 ‘child friendly spaces’ to support children with protective services and psychosocial
and psychological support, and 19 women’s centres will offer a safe space, psychosocial
support and activities to women and girls. The Secretary of State issued a press release
outlining our latest £70m support to the Rohingya on 7th May, which will be focussed
on ensuring the camps are prepared for rains and flooding. I spoke at a Westminster
Hall Debate on the issue the following day.</p>
