UK Minister of State Alistair Burt and Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Mark Lowcock have co-hosted a key discussion at the High Level Pledging Event for the Humanitarian Crisis in Yemen which will accelerate the international response to tackling cholera.

Today’s event, hosted by the UN-UK, offered an opportunity to establish a shared understanding of the crisis and accelerate the planning of our response. We agreed on the urgent need to finalise an integrated cholera response plan and on the importance of a fully funded 2018 Yemen Humanitarian Response Plan.
