Proceeding contribution from Keith Vaz (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 16 May 2011. It occurred during Debate on Middle East, North Africa, Afghanistan and Pakistan.


Middle East, North Africa, Afghanistan and Pakistan

I hope that the situation in Yemen will also be raised during those discussions because, as the right hon. Gentleman knows, a mass demonstration is planned for tomorrow at which thousands and thousands of people will be marching on the presidential palace. Ways in which we can help are through mediation, by trying to persuade the sides to come together, and by giving the financial assistance that is absolutely vital because Yemen is facing a humanitarian problem.
