<p>There are a number of measures in place to prevent the flow of arms into Yemen
in line with UN Security Council Resolution 2216, including the UN Monitoring and
Verification Mechanism (UNVIM) which the UK fully supports. In line with the UK-sponsored
UN Security Council Presidential Statement, agreed on 15 June, the Government is engaged
in efforts to increase commercial and humanitarian shipments through Yemeni ports
and airports. We are discussing short-term options to improve port infrastructure
in Al Hudaydah and other ports with regional countries, the US and the UN, including
cranes, inspection and improving commercial access. We are also monitoring port capacity
across the country. We continue to push for increased access to Sana’a Airport for
lifesaving humanitarian supplies and movement of urgent humanitarian cases. We call
on all parties to respect these clear demands from the international community.</p>
