question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government how many internally displaced people they estimate to be living in Darfur; how many Darfuri refugees they estimate to be living in Chad; whether they consider it safe for displaced people and refugees to return to their homes; what are their estimates of food shortages and the potential for famine in the region; whether they consider it would be safe for the United Nations–African Union Mission in Darfur to withdraw their peacekeepers from Darfur by 2020; and if so, on what grounds they reached that conclusion.
tabling member printed	Lord Alton of Liverpool
uin	HL10296
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/09/2018 answer text <p>The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reports that 1.6 million Internally Displaced People are living in Darfur. Over 300,000 Sudanese refugees remain in Chad. The UN estimated in July that the number of people requiring urgent food assistance (in phases 3 and 4 of the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification system) is expected to rise to 6.2 million. The UK is continuing to monitor the situation closely.</p><p>A voluntary programme for the safe and dignified repatriation of Darfuri refugees from Chad, administered by the office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and the Governments of Sudan and Chad, is ongoing. Since the programme began in April, around 350 refugees have returned to their places of residence in Darfur.</p><p>The security situation has evolved in much of Darfur, and therefore it makes sense that the UN-AU Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) should also change. The UN Security Council resolution adopted in July this year provides the Mission with a mandate that fits the evolving situation. Nevertheless, while there have been improvements, we recognise that the security situation remains fragile. We therefore continue to support a gradual, conditions-based withdrawal of UNAMID, contingent upon a fully benchmarked exit strategy, to ensure that improvements in the security situation are sustained.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 21/09/2018 11:48:44 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/09/2018 answer text <p>Half of the current population of Idlib are people who have already been displaced. It is right that those people should be safe from attack, and ultimately be able to return to their homes, but this can only happen when it is safe for them to do so.</p><p> </p><p>With our international partners, the UK continues to use our position at the UN and International Syria Support Group to advocate for the protection of civilians in Syria. This includes calling on the Syrian regime and it backers to uphold the ceasefire they have agreed and respect international humanitarian law, as well as allowing humanitarian agencies unfettered access to deliver aid to those who need it most.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 19/09/2018 10:53:04 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
