Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what assessment her Department has made of the effect on the level of provision of medical treatment to Yemeni civilians of the withdrawal of Mèdecins Sans Frontières from Ibb Al-Thawra Hospital in Yemen.

According to their statement of 23 March, Médecins Sans Frontières is planning to withdraw gradually over a period of three months, during which access to healthcare will be maintained. It is unclear what arrangements will be in place to supply aid following their withdrawal. DFID is monitoring the situation closely.
