aid to millions of those in need across the country. We are providing WFP with £35
million in support this financial year (2019/20) and provided £35 million last financial
year (2018/19). This support has been used exclusively to provide cash and vouchers
to vulnerable people to buy food in local markets, and as such 0% of UK Aid has been
spent on food imports over the 2018/19 and 2019/20 financial years.</p><p> </p><p>In
