<p>Improving access into and within Yemen for commercial goods and humanitarian aid
is one of the UK’s top priorities. We have consistently called on all parties to improve
commercial access for essential imports of food, fuel and medical supplies; facilitate
rapid, safe and unhindered access to all people in need; and safeguard major access
routes and key infrastructure in Yemen, including airports, sea ports and fuel distribution
sites.</p><p>In addition, we fund agencies and NGOs who have the best access and ability
to deliver humanitarian aid. In addition, we have provided:</p><ul><li>£1 million
to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), who broker humanitarian
access for the international response.</li><li>£1 million to the UN Humanitarian Air
Service (UNHAS) to provide an air bridge into Yemen for humanitarian staff and essential
medical supplies.</li><li>£1.42 million for the UN Verification and Inspection Mechanism
(UNVIM) to improve supply of essential goods into Yemen.</li></ul><p> </p>
