answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/03/2017 answer text <p>The findings of the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification analysis highlight the need to respond urgently to the food security crisis and prevent loss of life. In February, the Secretary of State issued a call to the international community to step up their response to the risk of famine in Somalia, South Sudan, Nigeria and Yemen. The UK has led by example, providing emergency humanitarian assistance to over 1 million people in both 2015 and 2016, and hosting a high level international event at the UN General Assembly to shine a spotlight on the forgotten crisis. In this financial year alone, we have provided lifesaving nutrition support to 889,000 women and children and food or food vouchers to 462,000 people so far. We are planning a significant contribution to Yemen in 2017/18.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 22/03/2017 16:06:00 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
