	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/03/2017 answer text <p>The conflict has destroyed or damaged critical infrastructure (for example, the largest cranes in the port of Hodeidah) and the current phase of military activity along the Red Sea is already further limiting the flow of life-saving commodities through Hodeidah port. Over 80% of food assistance in the last 6 months of 2016 entered the country through Hodeidah and neighbouring Salif ports. If Hodeidah port ceases to function, this would accelerate the onset of famine.</p><p>We continue to discuss options to improve port infrastructure in Hodeidah with Gulf countries, the US and the UN. However, recent events have made the successful delivery of mobile cranes for Hodeidah unlikely in the short-term.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 03/03/2017 12:32:40 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

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
