Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what estimate his Department has made of the extent of the fulfilment of pledges of humanitarian aid by British allies towards the Yemen Humanitarian Response plan.

The UN’s 2019 Yemen Humanitarian Response Plan is 69.5% funded so far this year.

We thank all donors who have provided funding, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait, who provided approximately $800 million between them in September.

We continue to encourage all donors to rapidly release their remaining pledges and consider providing further funding.
