Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what representations his Department has made to the United Nations Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide on the situation in Hudaydah, Yemen.

The UK has been in constant contact with relevant UN agencies and our regional and international partners since the beginning of the military activity around Hodeidah. We continue to urge all parties to respect International Humanitarian Law and prioritise the protection of civilians. We have seen no evidence to indicate a need to raise this topic with the UN.
