<p>The statement by the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation and others highlights
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 lifesaving nutrition support to 889,000
women and children and food or food vouchers to 462,000 people in 2016/17 so far.
We are planning a significant contribution to Yemen in 2017/18.</p>
