<p>We are concerned about reports of intensified fighting in the governorate of Al
Dhale’e. The UN estimates that 35,000 people have been displaced since the fighting
escalated, with the area becoming increasingly challenging for humanitarian actors,
who are struggling to gain access.</p><p> </p><p>Humanitarian agencies, including
the World Food Programme, continue to operate across Al Dhale’e under extremely difficult
circumstances in order to provide vital assistance such as food, healthcare and clean
water.</p><p> </p><p>The UK is clear that there can be no military solution to this
conflict. A political settlement is the only way to provide long term stability to
Yemen and address the worsening humanitarian crisis; we encourage further constructive
engagement from both parties to achieve this.</p>
