answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/11/2016 answer text <p>​We are aware of reports of an alleged airstrike on the district of Taiz on 29 October. It is important that the Saudi-led Coalition conducts thorough and conclusive investigations into incidents where it is alleged that international humanitarian law (IHL) has been breached. We regularly raise the importance of compliance with IHL with the Saudi Arabian Government and other members of the military Coalition. We welcomed the Cessation of Hostilities from 19 - 22 October.

uin	HL2378
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/10/2016 answer text <p>There is no blockade, although some measures were put in place to prevent the flow of arms to Yemen. We welcomed the Government of Yemen's announcement in October 2015 that all of Yemen's ports were open.</p><p>It is vital that commercial shipments of food and fuel enter the country to help alleviate the humanitarian crisis. That is why the Department for International Development is providing £1.42 million to support the establishment of the United Nations Verification and Inspection Mechanism (UNVIM), which became operational on 5 May. It is successfully verifying, and where necessary inspecting, ships in line with UNSCR 2216 (2015). This should speed up the clearance process for ships and improve commercial confidence, increasing supply and in turn aiming to reduce the price of basic goods. We call on all parties to facilitate and respect the operation of UNVIM.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 26/10/2016 15:03:54 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/10/2016 answer text <p>We are very concerned with the humanitarian crisis in Yemen. Yemen is now one of the most serious humanitarian crises in the world. One fifth of the world's total population in need of humanitarian aid live in Yemen (21 million, 82% of the population). On 21 September the Secretary of State for International Development, my Rt Hon. Friend the Member for Witham (Mrs Patel) announced an additional package of £37 million support to Yemen, which will bring the UK's total humanitarian funding for the crisis to £100 million this year. The UK is the fourth largest donor to the Yemen crisis. So far this calendar year (since January) the UK has provided £54 million in humanitarian support to Yemen, which has contributed to projects within the 2016 Humanitarian Response Plan. We have so far helped more than 1.3 million Yemenis with food, medical supplies, water, and emergency shelter.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 18/10/2016 14:48:16 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
