<p>While the UK supports camp closures in line with the Rakhine Advisory Commission
recommendations, we are concerned that Government of Myanmar has not granted freedom
of movement. We are monitoring the situation closely with the international community
and pressing for adherence with global best practice on camp closure.</p><p> </p><p>The
UK provides humanitarian aid to all displaced peoples and host communities based on
need, regardless of camp closure. The UK has provided £82m of humanitarian aid since
2012 to support internally displaced people (IDP) across Myanmar. Humanitarian access
is limited but we are pioneering new ways to remotely manage and monitor the impact
of our programmes, while continuing to press for access. We are also providing a further
£13.5m development support to IDPs to improve nutrition, skills, and education and
amplify the voice of displaced people in policy positions.</p>
