Written Question
Yemen: Famine
Wednesday 22nd February 2017

Asked by: Wendy Morton (Conservative - Aldridge-Brownhills)

Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what recent assessment she has made of the humanitarian situation in Yemen.

Answered by Rory Stewart

Yemen is on the brink of famine. According to the UN, more than 10 million people require immediate humanitarian aid to survive, including half a million children under 5 who are severely malnourished.

The UN has launched the largest ever humanitarian appeal for Yemen, requesting $2.1 billion to provide life-saving assistance to 12 million people in 2017.

In 2015 and 2016, the UK helped over 1 million Yemenis with food, medical assistance and clean water. We are encouraging others in the international community to step up their response in Yemen.

Written Question
Sierra Leone: Overseas Aid
Wednesday 16th November 2016

Asked by: Wendy Morton (Conservative - Aldridge-Brownhills)

Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what recent assessment her Department has made of development needs in Sierra Leone.

Answered by Priti Patel - Shadow Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs

I have just returned from Sierra Leone where I saw first-hand the scale of the development challenges, and the essential leadership role that the UK is playing in tackling them. Our cross-HMG response to the 2014/15 Ebola crisis was instrumental in bringing the epidemic under control. Since then the UK has pledged £240 million to Sierra Leone’s two year post-Ebola recovery agenda, which is saving lives, ensuring children get a better education and laying the groundwork for increased economic development.
