International Development Secretary Priti Patel

The UK is to increase the humanitarian aid it gives to Yemen to help millions who are suffering in the war-ravaged country, International Development Secretary Priti Patel has said, according to the BBC.

She told the BBC that the government would spend an extra £37m this year, bringing the total to £100m.

Ms Patel said the UK has "a robust policy and position" on arms controls.
