More government money for humanitarian crises

The government says it's providing £50,000 of support for two humanitarian crises.

The money will go to the Disasters Emergency Committee, a group of charities working around the world.

The cash will go towards the DEC's work in Yemen and East Africa - where millions of people are at risk of starvation.

A two-year conflict in Yemen involving a coalition led by Saudi Arabia now means large-scale food and water shortages.

The country is said to be on the verge of famine.

Meanwhile, drought and war across East Africa means 16 million people are on the brink of starvation.

So far, the Island has contributed a total of £150,000 for each DEC appeal.
