answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/02/2018 answer text <p>Close to 80% of both commercial and humanitarian imports have habitually entered Yemen through Hodeidah and Saleef ports. During her visit to Riyadh, the Prime Minister emphasised the importance of full and unhindered commercial and humanitarian access to these ports.</p><p>Currently we judge that imports to Hodeidah and Saleef are insufficient, with just 70% of monthly food and 76% of monthly fuel levels entering through these ports compared to the period before November 2017. We recognise the Saudi-led coalition is working to increase access through other ports including Aden in the South of Yemen. This is one reason why the recent increase in hostilities in Aden is a concern. The UK is working with the UN to increase the number of inspections of commercial vessels to encourage greater access into Hodeidah and Saleef. We continue to call on all parties to allow full and unfettered commercial and humanitarian access throughout Yemen to avert the risk of mass starvation.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 01/02/2018 17:31:04 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
