<p>In 2015/16 DFID provided £90m in direct assistance to Yemen; in 2016/17 £112m;
and in 2017/18 we are providing £139m. On top of this DFID also provides support to
Yemen through our global programmes and through our multilateral contributions.</p><p>Our
contribution this year makes us the second-largest donor to the UN’s 2017 Yemen Appeal
and the third-largest humanitarian donor to Yemen overall. At the same time, the UK
continues to play a leading role in lobbying for a political solution to the conflict,
as well as pressing the international community to step up their own contributions
to Yemen.</p>
