Summary[edit]

Description

The UK's International Development Minister Alan Duncan meets with the Head of the United Nations' humanitarian agency OCHA, Baroness Valerie Amos (London, 16 May 2013)

The two met following Britain's pledge of emergency food, drinking water and shelter to help people in Rakhine State in western Burma, who have been displaced by ethnic violence and now face additional threats of approaching tropical storms.

Mr Duncan welcomed the United Nations' role in helping the country's government and partners to prepare for the storm season, and called on the UN to continue to work with the Burmese authorities to ensure effective humanitarian support for the Rohingya people in the area.

Minister of State for International Development Alan Duncan said:

“Thousands of people displaced by violence in Rakhine State are currently extremely vulnerable. With the first tropical storm of the cyclone season due to hit the area this week, it is imperative that we respond to the unfolding humanitarian crisis.

“British support will not only meet the immediate food, water and medical needs of the displaced, but give people protection from the elements for the future. The plight of the people of Rakhine State must not be ignored.”

Britain’s £4.4m package of emergency assistance for Rakhine State will provide:

• nearly 80,000 people with access to safe drinking water and improved sanitation facilities • malnourished children aged 0-59 months with treatment for acute malnutrition in rural camps • and hygiene kits to nearly 40,000 people.
