<p>We are acutely aware of the difficult operating environment humanitarian organisations
face delivering life-saving assistance in Yemen. As a result we only channel support
through organisations with a strong record of delivering and monitoring assistance,
such as UN agencies and international NGOs.</p><p>To identify the most vulnerable,
UN agencies use a range of tools such as household level assessments. Some, like the
World Food Programme, use technology such as biometric verification to confirm that
those most in need are being reached.</p><p>Through UK diplomatic channels we press
authorities to facilitate aid delivery. This can include getting visas issued or travel
permission granted for certain areas.</p><p>Earlier this year the UK brought together
heads of UN agencies and lead donors to determine how to better coordinate on the
ground to deliver the right interventions at the right time to the most vulnerable.
The Humanitarian Coordinator is holding UN agencies to account to deliver this.</p>
