<p>The UK is working closely with the UN and other donors at all levels, to help ensure
the humanitarian response in Yemen is as coordinated as possible. This includes supporting
the UN’s Humanitarian Response Plan and COVID-19 strategy in Yemen.</p><p>We engage
regularly with senior UN officials, including through calls between Ministers and
UN Agency Leads and between DFID’s Country Director for Yemen and the UN’s Humanitarian
Coordinator in Yemen. We also actively participate in the UN’s weekly Yemen Humanitarian
Country Team meetings.</p><p>Our recently announced £160 million commitment of UK
aid to Yemen is being delivered through UN and NGO humanitarian and development partners
in line with the UN’s Humanitarian Response Plan. We maintain constant dialogue with
these UN agencies and NGOs to ensure we understand the challenges they are facing
on the ground and identify ways in which we can support them through UK influence
and diplomacy.</p>
