§ 27. Mr. KeyTo ask the Secretary of State for International Development what assessment her Department has made of the assistance needs of the people of Kosovo. [57828]
§ Clare ShortThe most pressing need is to provide emergency assistance to the displaced, and in particular to those without adequate shelter, to enable them to survive the winter. My Department has allocated £3 million to UNHCR, ICRC and to UK NGOs, such as Oxfam and 209W Save the Children Fund, primarily to meet these winterisation needs through the provision of materials to repair homes and construct shelters, clothes and blankets, and stoves and fuel.
