Over the course of our coming financial year, the UK will provide at least £88 million in aid to the people of Yemen. UK funding will be provided to a mixture of agencies including the World Food Programme, United Nations Children's Fund, the International Committee of the Red Cross and non-governmental partners. This will help feed at least 200,000 people every month, provide lifesaving health care for 800,000 women and children, and treat 85,000 severely malnourished children. We will work with our delivery partners to ensure aid is disbursed quickly and effectively to avoid further suffering.
