<p>The UK is using our foreign aid budget and British expertise to stop the spread
of the global coronavirus outbreak, find a vaccine and save lives around the world,
including in the UK. So far £764 million of UK aid has been pledged to help end this
pandemic as quickly as possible.</p><p>As a leading donor to the COVID-19 global response
and one of the biggest humanitarian donors globally, we are working with our partners
to ensure essential commodities and services are provided to those who need it the
most, in line with international humanitarian principles. Through our support to the
UN Global Humanitarian Response Plan, we have particularly advocated to ensure assistance
reaches the most marginalised and vulnerable people, including religious minorities,
who will be the worst affected by this crisis.</p>
