The UK has devoted 50 million GBP to aid relief in Yemen. The country is going through a bitter civil war with no end currently in sight. This should help with some of the day to day worries, like food, clean water and heating supplies while the country is rebuilt. Around 20 million of the population have been dependent on aid since the civil war began in 2015 and with no end in sight, this number is destined to grow as the war continues.

Key Takeaways:

• Around 20 million people have been depending on aid since the war started in 2015
• This money hopefully will aid some of the people affected by the war and bring them hope
• The announcement was made after the International minister was in Djibouti, visiting the Yemeni refugee camps.

“The UK has promised to deliver desperately needed food and fuel supplies for the millions of people in rebel-held Yemen who are living on the brink of famine.”
