Department for International Development written question – answered at on 31 March 2020.
The Department for International Development (DFID) is supporting the UK’s global efforts to combat the outbreak of COVID-19 and help the most vulnerable, including refugees in camps and settlements as well as host communities. The UK has committed up to £241 million of UK aid to support the global efforts to combat the outbreak of COVID-19.
The International Development Secretary has talked to Filippo Grandi, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, and they agreed to work together to minimise the impact of this crisis on refugees. Officials are in regular contact with their United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees counterparts and we are working closely with all our international partners to coordinate a global response that includes actions to address the particular vulnerability of refugee populations.
