Bolivia: Floods

Volume 458: debated on Wednesday 28 March 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what financial support he plans to allocate to deal with problems caused by floods in Bolivia. (130059)

The EC Humanitarian Aid Office (ECHO) is providing €1 million emergency funds for flood victims in Bolivia. DFID contributes to this through its 18 per cent. share of the European Community’s external assistance programme. Beyond that, DFID’s Conflict, Humanitarian and Security Department’s assessment is that the urgent humanitarian needs have been met by other donors. In view of this, DFID does not plan to provide further direct financial support.
