<p>The UK is providing £205 million of aid support Yemen for the financial year 2017/8
that is focused on lifesaving humanitarian aid. Our partners use a variety of ports
of entry into Yemen, depending on where need is greatest, the type of supply being
imported, and the situation on the ground at the time.</p><p> </p><p>The northern
ports of Hodeidah and Saleef play a critical role in importing 80% of Yemen’s humanitarian
and commercial supplies, including food, fuel and medicine. For example, the UK has
provided the World Food Programme (WFP) with £30 million to provide over 60,000 metric
tons of food and 6.5 million litres of fuel to Yemen: 79% of these supplies will enter
Yemen through the port of Hodeidah.</p><p> </p><p>The Secretary of State for International
Development has been clear that all parties must allow full and unhindered access
throughout Yemen, including through Hodeidah and Saleef ports.</p>
