London, (IINA) - The UK government will allocate £4 million to help meet emergency needs as a result of the current crisis in Yemen, UK Department for International Development reported.
This forms part of the UK’s commitment to provide £72 million to Yemen in 2015-16, including £11 million for humanitarian assistance.
This announcement brings the UK’s overall commitment to the UN 2015 Humanitarian Appeal for Yemen to £15 million.
UK funding will provide life-saving assistance to the most vulnerable people in Yemen, by providing medical supplies, water, food and emergency shelter, as well as supporting refugees and migrants.
The UK government welcomes Saudi Arabia’s $274 million donation to the UN Flash Appeal for Yemen, announced on 18 April, which will help to meet immediate needs for 50% of Yemenis in need of assistance over the next three months.
