That this House is gravely concerned by aid agencies' warnings that 10 million Yemenis, 44 per cent of the population, are undernourished and that five million require emergency aid; notes that malnutrition rates have doubled in Yemen since 2009; welcomes the 28 million aid pledged by the Government; regrets that the UN humanitarian aid appeal for Yemen is facing a 166 million shortfall in funding contributions; and urges the Government to work with other nations to ensure that this shortfall is met.
