answer text <p>The additional humanitarian funding announced by the Prime Minister will support:</p><ul><li>those affected by conflict and natural disaster in South Sudan, the Central African Republic, Nigeria, the Sahel, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Burma;</li><li>refugees and displaced people in Uganda, Kenya, Afghanistan, and the Mediterranean region; and</li><li>those affected by El Nino in eastern and southern Africa, including Lesotho, Mozambique and Zimbabwe.</li></ul><p>An additional £80 million will support a new jobs compact in Ethiopia, which will create 100,000 jobs for Ethiopians and refugees. The UK will also contribute £2.5 million to a new fund, led by the International Organisation for Migration, which will facilitate durable solutions for refugees by supporting additional countries to offer resettlement places.</p><p>It is in the UK’s interest to respond quickly to humanitarian crises overseas, offering people protection and opportunities close to their home countries or long-term resettlement in a third country. This saves lives, helps to reduce long-term poverty, and is key to reducing the risk of people being caught up in uncontrolled, mass migration.</p>
