<p>The UK continues to raise concerns with the Saudi led-Coalition about the potential
impact of any assault on the port and city of Hodeidah and is monitoring the resumption
of hostilities in and around Hodeidah closely.</p><p>As we have consistently made
clear, the Coalition must ensure that any further military operations in and around
Hodeidah are conducted in accordance with international humanitarian law, including
on the protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure, and do not disrupt commercial
and humanitarian flows both through the port and onwards across the country. For their
part, the Houthis must not compromise civilian facilities (such as Hodeidah port as
well as schools, hospitals and food storage facilities) and allow unhindered access
to humanitarian agencies throughout areas they control.</p><p>To date, Red Sea ports
remain operational and continue to import most of the food and fuel on which Yemenis
rely.</p>
