<p>The UK has played a leading role in responding to the humanitarian crisis, committing
over £1 billion in aid since the conflict began. Over the course of our coming financial
year, the UK will provide at least £88 million in aid to the people of Yemen. UK funding
will be provided through multiple agencies, including the World Food Programme and
United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund. This will help feed at least
200,000 people every month, provide lifesaving health care for 800,000 women and children
and treat 85,000 severely malnourished children. We will work with our delivery partners
to ensure aid is disbursed quickly and effectively.</p><p>The UK is playing a leading
role in supporting UN led efforts to sustain, extend and expand the UN brokered truce
which came into effect on 2 April. An inclusive political settlement is the only way
to bring long-term stability to Yemen and to address the worsening humanitarian crisis.</p>
