answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/03/2017 answer text <p>The UK was one of the first donors to respond to the crisis in the Lake Chad Region. Last year we delivered food assistance to more than 1 million people, and treated 34,000 children at risk of death from severe under-nourishment in North East Nigeria. We have used our funding to encourage others to contribute and are pleased that at the Oslo Donor Conference a number of other countries stepped up their support. The UK is currently examining what further support we can provide in leading the way to help prevent famine in the region.</p> answering member constituency Stockton South answering member printed James Wharton question first answered 14/03/2017 17:23:08 answering member 4123 label Biography information for Lord Wharton of Yarm
