Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, how much funding her Department has allocated to food insecurity programmes in Yemen.
In the financial year 2018/19, we have provisionally allocated £87 million towards three programmes with a focus on food security: the World Food Programme’s Emergency Operations in Yemen; multisector Humanitarian Response Programme supporting 10 NGOs to deliver activities to avert famine in remote and inaccessible areas; and the Yemen Humanitarian Pooled Fund, which awards grants to NGOs and UN agencies to increase food security.
