PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Haiti: Humanitarian Situation (17 April 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Deputy Foreign Secretary, what recent assessment he has made of the implications for his policies of the humanitarian situation in Haiti.

Asked by:
Anna McMorrin (Labour)

Answer

The UK remains concerned by the deteriorating security situation in Haiti that exacerbates pre-existing humanitarian and economic crises. We continue to support Haiti through our contributions to UN agencies, multi donor, pooled NGO funds, and institutions such as the World Bank Group, who are active in addressing Haiti's significant humanitarian challenges. It is clear that the climate of insecurity is driving Haiti's humanitarian needs, and we hope that deployment of the Multinational Security Support (MSS) Mission in Haiti, to which the Foreign Secretary announced a £5 million ODA contribution on 9 April, will improve this.
