<p>Yemen imports almost all of its fuel. Consistent fuel supplies are critical to
an effective humanitarian response - fuel supports vital infrastructure including
water supplies for major cities, grain mills, and hospital generators, as well as
enables the delivery of urgent food supplies and clean water across the country.</p><p>While
the level of fuel imported to Yemen has recently improved, it remains below the country’s
needs - 81% of the monthly fuel needs were met through imports via all ports in April
compared to 65% in March. Furthermore, the price of fuel remains higher than the level
before restrictions were put in place in November. For example, diesel costs over
40% more than one year ago. This is partly due to a decrease in the value of the Yemeni
currency.</p><p>The UK will continue to call on all parties to the conflict to allow
unhindered humanitarian and commercial access throughout Yemen, including for fuel.</p>
