Motion Text

That this House is deeply concerned by the continued conflict in Yemen, where fighting between multiple parties is exacerbating a severe humanitarian crisis; is alarmed that 22 million people remain in desperate need of humanitarian assistance, including the need for food, water and medical supplies; notes that the urgent need for a ceasefire was the primary message in a recent report by the All Party Parliamentary Group for Yemen; and calls on the Government to follow its own calls for a ceasefire with additional support for the UN negotiating team and further humanitarian assistance.
