The Minister for Africa visited Kasai Central, in the DRC, in November 2017 to see for himself the impact of the conflict. UK bilateral aid is already supporting 25,800 children with food assistance in the Kasais. Over the next 5 years the UK will be providing a range of humanitarian support. As part of this, we will support a further 840,000 people nationally with food assistance, including people in the Kasais.
