The Yemen Multisector Humanitarian Response Programme (MHRP) aims to reduce the risk of famine and malnutrition in areas of extreme food insecurity. Originally scheduled to end in April 2020, FCDO Ministers approved an extension to September 2021.

The most recent published assessment of the Yemen Multisector Humanitarian Response Programme was undertaken in August 2020 and can be accessed on Development Tracker. A project completion report for the MHRP extension period is expected to be completed by December 2021 and will be subsequently published.

The UK has played a leading role in responding to the humanitarian crisis, committing over £1 billion in aid since the conflict began. Over the course of our coming financial year, the UK will provide at least £88 million in aid to the people of Yemen. UK funding will be provided through multiple agencies, including the World Food Programme and United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund. This will help feed at least 200,000 people every month, provide lifesaving health care for 800,000 women and children and treat 85,000 severely malnourished children. We will work with our delivery partners to ensure aid is disbursed quickly and effectively.

The UK is playing a leading role in supporting UN led efforts to sustain, extend and expand the UN brokered truce which came into effect on 2 April. An inclusive political settlement is the only way to bring long-term stability to Yemen and to address the worsening humanitarian crisis.

UK Ministers and officials engage with their international and regional counterparts on Yemen regularly and use the monthly briefings to the UN Security Council to encourage efforts towards a political solution, deliver further economic support and bring an end to the humanitarian suffering. Administrative restrictions imposed on humanitarian partners remain the principal driver of access constraints across Yemen. We are clear that humanitarian aid must not be used as a political tool and call on all parties to abide by UN Security Council Resolution 2451 by facilitating safe, rapid, and unhindered access for the humanitarian response.

On 20 October the UK supported a UN Security Council Press Statement calling for an immediate end to the Houthi escalation in Marib, and the Foreign Secretary also visited Riyadh where she discussed the conflict in Yemen with Saudi counterparts. We urge the parties to engage constructively with the UN process and call on all states to release humanitarian funding commitments promptly.

Yemen is a human rights priority country for the UK. We call upon all parties to the conflict to comply with their obligations under international human rights law and international humanitarian law. We are discussing with international partners the potential for a mechanism to support human rights accountability, including women's rights, in Yemen. We continue to work with donors, the UN and NGOs to lobby for the lifting of worsening access restrictions to ensure that humanitarian aid reaches those who need it most in Yemen. If access restrictions are not lifted, the international community, UN agencies and NGOs, will be forced to take further measures to better protect aid delivery, including recalibrating humanitarian assistance and further reducing certain operations.

In February, the Minister for Europe, Leo Docherty, stated that the UK will pledge up to £88 million in aid to Yemen over the 2023/24 financial year. This will feed at least 100,000 Yemeni people every month, provide lifesaving health care and nutrition services through 400 health care facilities and treat 22,000 severely malnourished children. The inaugural UK-Saudi Arabia Aid Dialogue in February identified the need to improve humanitarian access and encourage greater funding commitments by regional partners. On 23 February, Minister Mitchell launched the BRIGHTLY consortium, a government-NGO partnership to deliver the UK's flagship food security programme in Yemen.
