Working through and with multilateral agencies such as the UN is particularly important for access in conflict affected countries where many of the most vulnerable and at risk live.</p><p> </p><p>The most protracted, severe food insecure crises are caused by conflict at their root. We need to couple available resources with humanitarian diplomacy, as exemplified by the UK's Famine Call to Action and the appointment of Nick Dyer as the UK's first Special Envoy for Famine Prevention and Humanitarian Affairs ensuring humanitarian access to affected populations and protection of civilians in conflict. If we achieve these two things we will go a long way to averting famine and the worst of human suffering in crisis.</p> answering member constituency Rochford and Southend East answering member printed James Duddridge question first answered 12/03/2021 15:00:49 answering member 1559 label Biography information for Sir James Duddridge

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2021 answer text <p>The combined impact of the coronavirus pandemic, conflict, locust swarms and climate change have left millions of people worldwide facing extreme hunger over the past year. In sub-Saharan Africa 95.5 million people are projected to reach crisis levels of food insecurity by the middle of 2021. The risk of famine is real. Famine is likely already occurring in western Pibor, South Sudan whilst Burkina Faso and north-east Nigeria also face a credible threat of famine.</p><p> </p><p>The UK has responded to this threat by launching our Famine Initiative, pledging £180 million dedicated to tackling food insecurity and to provide aid to more than 7 million vulnerable people in some of the world’s most dangerous places. The first Special Envoy for Famine Prevention has been appointed to drive UK efforts to prevent the immediate risk of famine and address mounting acute food insecurity through mobilising the international community to take strong, concerted and urgent action.</p> answering member constituency Rochford and Southend East answering member printed James Duddridge question first answered 12/03/2021 14:57:38 answering member 1559 label Biography information for Sir James Duddridge
