UK aid is supporting targeted assistance for disabled people, including outreach services providing cooked food, and cash or vouchers for essential purchases. UK assistance is supporting the provision of disabled-access emergency latrines to an estimated 70,000 people. Reducing distances to service points, increasing access into the camps, strengthening referral systems, and increasing access to information as the response continues to scale up will also support the disabled population.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 06/12/2017 16:07:31 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
