Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what proportion of her Department's spending in relation to the conflict in Yemen is dedicated to programmes for Yemeni refugees in Djibouti.

In 2015/16, DFID provided £250,000 to support Yemeni refugees in Djibouti. This funding helped to provide emergency supplies to 1000 refugees, such as blankets and clean water, and to support rescue at sea operations.

Further, through UK-attributed funding to ECHO (EU Co-ordination of Humanitarian Aid Operations), we provided £56,000 in 2016 to support refugees and migrants in Djibouti with clean water and shelter.

In 2015/16 the UK provided £90 million in funding for the crisis in Yemen which helped to provide over 1 million Yemenis with food, clean water and medical assistance.
