The UK will provide £2m for vital humanitarian aid to those who have been driven out of their home by the ongoing conflicts in Yemen, International Development Sectary Douglas Alexznder announced on Oct 15, 2009. The £2m is in response to the recent UN Flash Appeal which has launched following the outbreak of intensified fighting in and around the Sa’adah governorate in northern Yemen.
As many as 150,000 people have now been displaced by the conflict. Large number of these are women and children who are especially in need of protection and security. This new funding will be used to provide water, sanitation and hygiene services, food, health care, assistance to malnutrition children and shelter and relief items.
