The International Development Committee has published its Report on the Crisis in Yemen and the Report found strong evidence that delivery of aid relief is still undermined by on-going breaches of international humanitarian law and concluded that humanitarian breaches in Yemen need immediate independent investigation.
Since the publication of the Report, the Committee has had correspondence with the Foreign Secretary, setting out serious concerns about the UK Government's approach to the current crisis in Yemen. These can be found on the inquiry publication page.
Witnesses Julien Harneis, Head of UNICEF Yemen, Josephine Hutton, Regional Programme Manager, Middle East, Oxfam, Grant Pritchard, Director of Advocacy, Media and Communications on Yemen, Save the Children, and Roy Isbister, Head of Arms Unit, Saferworld; Rt Hon Desmond Swayne MP, Minister of State for International Development, Juliette John, Head of DFID Yemen, Department for International Development, Tobias Ellwood MP, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, and Nicholas Alton, Deputy Head of Arabian Peninsula and Iran, Foreign and Commonwealth Office (at 2.00pm).
