[102809]Clare Short: An estimated 800,000 people have been displaced by this conflict in northern Uganda. Access to these groups is oftendifficult due to insecurity, but we are aware that the malnutrition rates in Anaka and Pabbo displaced persons camps are of graveconcern. To date DFID has provided £2.5m for humanitarian needs including £1.6m to the World Food Programme for the emergencypurchase and distribution of food supplies. This food, along with other donor contributions, is now being distributed in Pabbo andAnaka as well as other camps in Northern Uganda. The DFID office in Uganda remains in close touch with agencies working in the areaand is continually re-assessing the situation.
