§ Mr. RaisonIn 1985 gross bilateral aid disbursements to Africa totalled £306 million; this includes £31 million of disaster relief aid and £25 million of food aid (not all directly famine-related). The amounts to individual countries are as shown. In addition, substantial British aid funds are channelled through multilateral aid agencies and the European Community to support long-term development and disaster relief in Africa; figures for 1985 by individual countries are not yet available.
