<p>The UK is monitoring the humanitarian impact being felt in the south of Yemen.</p><p>Although
Aden port remains operational, we are concerned by a backlog of 15,000 containers
waiting to be processed. Fighting across the south of the country has also closed
many major overland routes, affecting the onward delivery of commercial goods and
humanitarian services.</p><p>The UK is engaging closely with UN agencies and NGOs
on the ground and continues to call on all parties to the conflict to facilitate safe
and unhindered humanitarian and commercial access into and throughout Yemen, including
for food and fuel, as set out by UN Security Council Resolution 2451 which was drafted
by the UK.</p>
