<p>The UK continues to raise concerns with the Saudi led-Coalition about the potential
impact of any assault on the port and city of Hodeidah and is monitoring the resumption
of hostilities in and around Hodeidah closely. As we have consistently made clear,
the Coalition must ensure that any further military operations in and around Hodeidah
are conducted in accordance with international humanitarian law and do not disrupt
commercial and humanitarian flows.</p><p> </p><p>The impact of the violence around
Hodeidah on commercial and humanitarian access is one of the main reasons behind the
UN’s warning of the growing risk of food insecurity in Yemen. We are concerned by
reports that access to the Red Sea mills has been restricted as result of the latest
fighting.</p><p> </p><p>UK aid partners continue to deliver life-saving support on
the ground as part of our £170 million response in Yemen this year, including cash
transfers to 21,000 people displaced from Hodeidah, as well as access to 75,000 litres
of clean water a day.</p><p> </p>
