Alex Salmond – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Alex Salmond on 2016-10-20.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what steps the Government is taking to protect children in Yemen.

Mr Tobias Ellwood

​We are very concerned by the impact the current conflict is having on children in Yemen. The UK is the fourth largest humanitarian donor to the Yemen crisis having pledged a total of £100m this year. This is helping to supply Yemenis with food, medical supplies, water, and emergency shelter. An enduring cessation of hostilities and peace talks remain a top priority in order to bring stability to Yemen and alleviate the suffering.
