<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> </p><p>The UK is providing £200
million in response to this humanitarian crisis this financial year, bringing the
total UK commitment to Yemen to £770 million since the conflict began in 2015. This
support is meeting the immediate food needs of more than 1 million Yemenis each month,
treating 70,000 children for malnutrition and providing over 1 million people with
improved water supply and basic sanitation.</p><p> </p><p>We are clear that 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>
