answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2016 answer text <p>Our humanitarian aid is provided on the basis of humanitarian need. The funding commitments listed in the Answer of 15 June 2016 to Question 39874 support men, women and children affected by the conflict; it is not possible to say exactly how much has been used specifically to support children. Since the UN reports that the conflict in Yemen has spread to 20 out of 22 governorates, it is likely that most children in Yemen have been directly or indirectly affected by the conflict.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 20/07/2016 13:31:56 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
