<p>Yemen remains the world’s largest humanitarian crisis, with nearly 80% of the entire
population, over 24 million people, requiring some form of humanitarian assistance.
More than 20 million people in Yemen do not have reliable access to food and almost
10 million people face extreme food shortages.</p><p>The UK is increasingly concerned
by the constraints placed on the international humanitarian response in Houthi-controlled
areas of northern Yemen. In line with United Nations Security Council Resolution 2451,
we are calling on all parties to facilitate unhindered access for humanitarian actors
and agencies and ensure that humanitarian workers are able to conduct their work safely
and without harm.</p><p>A political settlement is the only way to fully address the
humanitarian crisis and we encourage further constructive engagement from all parties
to achieve this.</p>
