Improvements in acute malnutrition among children under five in Gaza demonstrate what is possible during a ceasefire, allowing the scale up of the emergency nutrition response. However, 59 per cent of the population still face crisis levels of food insecurity, children continue to experience chronic malnutrition with potentially lifelong consequences, dietary diversity remains severely limited, and maternal malnutrition remains significant. We must see improved and sustained humanitarian access, to support widescale needs.

The UK is providing up to £5 million to support the most urgent humanitarian needs in Nepal, announced on 27 August by the Prime Minister. The funding will support the Government of Nepal's response efforts through a combination of UN, Red Cross and NGO interventions, alongside local and international responders providing emergency assistance. This includes £750,000 through the Red Cross movement for emergency assistance such as clean water, shelter and medical support; £1 million through Start Fund Nepal to help local organisations deliver lifesaving aid; £3 million through the UN to meet urgent humanitarian needs including shelter, WASH and Protection; and up to £250,000 to deploy UK humanitarian experts to strengthen coordination and the effective delivery of assistance. The UK has also deployed specialist humanitarian experts to Nepal to support and coordinate the response efforts. Following the floods, I visited Nepal to meet with the Nepalese government, UN and other agencies.

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) considers there to be a significant risk of further flooding in the high-mountain terrain along the Nepal-China border throughout the remainder of this year's monsoon season. This risk is likely to reduce during the colder, generally drier months of October to December. FCDO assesses that further landslide-related floods are possible during the remainder of this year, including as a result of the formation and sudden failure of barrier lakes. FCDO also assesses that there is a significant risk of flooding in future years. The scale of the humanitarian impact of flooding events would depend on their precise location, the size and density of population in the affected areas, and the effectiveness of monitoring, early warning systems and emergency preparedness.

We remain in regular contact with the Government of Ukraine and international counterparts, including through the G7, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the European Union, the UN and wider humanitarian system, to coordinate support, strengthen Ukraine's resilience, protect civilians and ensure assistance is targeted where needs are greatest.
