<p>The UK is monitoring the humanitarian impact being felt in the south of Yemen.</p><p>
</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> </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>
