I am extremely concerned about the situation in Yemen. According to the UN, over 8 million people are a step away from famine, yet Saudi Arabia has maintained its barbaric blockade of Yemen, which is impeding humanitarian access for the millions of Yemenis facing hunger and battling disease. Has the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade contacted his Saudi Arabian counterpart? Has he called on the Saudi Government to lift this illegal siege before millions die? Does he support the call for an arms embargo on Saudi Arabia?
