tabling member printed	Baroness Hodgson of Abinger
uin	HL65
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/05/2022 answer text <p>Afghanistan continues to face a serious and worsening humanitarian crisis. It is affecting over half of the population, with 19.7 million facing acute food insecurity. This is now one of the world's most severe food security crisis. 93% of households are reporting they do not have enough to eat. People continue turning to drastic measures to feed their families with 63% of households resorting to crisis coping strategies. Over 6 million people have been internally displaced and millions of children are out of school. The combination of food and other household prices rising and the reduction in economic opportunities in Afghanistan will lead to a significant increase in poverty rates in Afghanistan.</p><p>On 11 January 2022, the UN launched an appeal for $4.4 billion for 2022, the largest humanitarian appeal on record, reflecting the magnitude of the humanitarian challenge ahead. The UK was at the forefront in responding to this. On 30 March, the Foreign Secretary announced the UK pledge of £286 million for 2022/2023, the second highest commitment to the Humanitarian Response Plan for Afghanistan to date. This commitment reflects the UK's enduring commitment to the people of Afghanistan.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 24/05/2022 14:02:11 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the remarks by the Executive Director of the World Food Programme that there will be increased demand for global humanitarian assistance as a result of the conflict in Ukraine; and what plans they have to increase the UK's humanitarian assistance over the next 12 months.
tabling member printed	Baroness Hodgson of Abinger
uin	HL66
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/05/2022 answer text <p>Global humanitarian need and acute food insecurity is at an all-time high, driven by covid-19, climate change and conflict - with over 300 million people in need of assistance in 2022 and 43 million people living a step away from famine. Until Russia's invasion Ukraine's exports of food and fertiliser were feeding up to 400 million people worldwide. Russia's war is preventing these exports and causing food, energy and other commodity prices to rise, as well as diverting humanitarian resources from pre-existing crises. This is hitting the world's poorest hardest, and increasing global humanitarian needs.</p><p>The UK is a major humanitarian donor. We have announced a package to address critical rising food insecurity in the Horn of Africa including £25 million to Somalia, £88 million in Yemen, and pledged £286 million to meet needs in Afghanistan. The UK and our partners secured the largest ever World Bank financial commitment to developing countries affected by Russia's invasion - $170 billion over the next 15 months. The UK has also increased support through the Bank with approximately £730 million in financial guarantees so the Bank can lend more to Ukraine without taking resources from the rest of the world.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 23/05/2022 13:52:37 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
