The UK’s early commitment of £45m for the humanitarian response so far in Somalia in 2018 is enabling our bilateral and multilateral partners, such as World Food Programme, UNICEF, Food and Agriculture Organization, OCHA, Islamic Relief, the Somali Red Crescent Society and Save the Children, to be flexible and adapt to urgent needs as they arise. In response to Tropical Storm Sagar, existing NGO and UN partners are drawing on pre-positioned relief supplies and redirecting resources to provide urgently needed water treatment kits, tents, and health and nutrition supplies sufficient to meet the needs of more than 400,000 people in Somaliland and other affected places. The relief effort is continuing, along with assessment work to identify longer term recovery needs.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 04/06/2018 15:49:06 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
