The UK government has donated £31m to the aid effort which it says will be spent on supplies such as tents, blankets and essential medicines.

Only a quarter of the $459m (£293m) aid needed for initial relief has arrived, according to the United Nations.

That contrasts with the United States giving at least $1bn (£638,645,289) in military aid last year to its regional ally to battle militants.
