<p>We condemn the Houthis' escalation of violence around Marib and Shabwa, which is
worsening the humanitarian crisis, and their intensifying of cross-border attacks
on Saudi Arabia. On 20 October the UK supported a UN Security Council Press Statement
calling for an immediate end to the Houthi escalation in Marib. The Foreign Secretary
also raised Yemen with Saudi counterparts on her visit to Riyadh on 20 October. We
fully support the Yemen peace process led by the UN Special Envoy Hans Grundberg.
An inclusive political settlement is the only way to bring long-term stability and
security to Yemen and end the humanitarian suffering. We urge the parties to engage
constructively with this process.</p>
