Humanitarian Situation In Yemen

EDM number 157 in 2014-15, proposed by Keith Vaz on 23/06/2014.
Categorised under the topics of International development, International politics and government and Middle East.

That this House acknowledges the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Yemen; understands that 11.9 million people live below the poverty line, that 60 per cent of children are suffering from chronic malnourishment and that a quarter of a million children are facing death as a result of this; notes that poverty, drought and internal armed conflict are contributing to the country's difficulties in shifting towards stable democracy; welcomes the UK's continuous support for the offering of food, shelter and clean water to help reduce the severity of the crisis; and calls on the Government to do as much as it can to ensure that as many Yemeni people as possible can have a better quality of life and to help the country shift to stable democracy.

This motion has been signed by a total of 30 MPs.
