<p>The UK remains deeply concerned about the humanitarian situation in Rakhine, Kachin
and Northern Shan. We continue to raise our concerns with both military and civilian
Ministers in the Government of Burma as a matter of urgency.</p><p>The UK has long
been one of the biggest humanitarian donors in Burma and in Rakhine State, providing
over £23 million in humanitarian assistance in Rakhine since 2012. No financial aid
is provided to the Government of Burma. The UK currently provides humanitarian support
to around 100,000 people in the state including to people in internally displaced
people camps outside of northern Rakhine and some limited support in northern Rakhine.
The UK has provided over £18.1 million in essential humanitarian and health assistance
in Kachin and Northern Shan states from 2012 until the end of last financial year,
and will provide a further £5 million approximately this year.</p>
