HC Deb 14 December 1992 vol 216 c18W
Ms. Walley

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on what action he is recommending be taken to assist non-governmental organisations to disburse to the citizens of Sarajevo medical and other humanitarian assistance.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Responsibility for co-ordinating the international community's response to the humanitarian crisis in Sarajevo and elsewhere in the former Yugoslavia rests with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Non-governmental organisations—NGOs— both international and indigenous, play an important part in that co-ordinated relief effort. We have provided significant resources to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees both directly, and via the European Community, in the form of cash, medical supplies, equipment and personnel, as well as providing grants to NGOs.
