<p>In September, under UK leadership, the five permanent members of the UN Security
Council, plus Germany, Kuwait and Sweden, met and signed a communiqué reiterating
the need to increase the pace and scale of the humanitarian response. The Group was
clear that a political settlement is the only way to address the humanitarian crisis,
but given the risk of starvation faced by millions in Yemen, the Group called on all
donors to disburse promptly their pledges to the UN humanitarian response. It also
called on the conflict parties to facilitate safe, rapid and unhindered humanitarian
access in compliance with Security Council Resolution 2451. Our Permanent Representative
to the UN also reiterated the need to bolster efforts on humanitarian access in her
statement of 17 October to the UN Security Council.</p>
