We remain very concerned about access for commercial and humanitarian shipping in
Yemen. The UK has made clear to all parties that access for commercial goods and humanitarian
aid, including via Hodeidah port, must be improved, and emphasised the importance
of the non-politicisation of aid. The UK is also supporting the UN in working with
the Saudi Arabian-led coalition and Government of Yemen to make the system for verifying
shipping more efficient. The UK has so far announced £75 million in humanitarian aid
– delivered through UN agencies and humanitarian NGOs - to support Yemenis affected
by the crisis.
