This will feed at least 100,000 Yemeni people every month, provide lifesaving health care and nutrition services through 400 health care facilities and treat 22,000 severely malnourished children.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2023 answer text <p>Yemen is a human rights priority country for the UK. We call upon all parties to the conflict to comply with their obligations under international human rights law and international humanitarian law. We are discussing with international partners the potential for a mechanism to support human rights accountability, including women's rights, in Yemen. We continue to work with donors, the UN and NGOs to lobby for the lifting of worsening access restrictions to ensure that humanitarian aid reaches those who need it most in Yemen. If access restrictions are not lifted, the international community, UN agencies and NGOs, will be forced to take further measures to better protect aid delivery, including recalibrating humanitarian assistance and further reducing certain operations.</p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 15/05/2023 15:39:51 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty
