<p>Conflict in Yemen has made it difficult for agencies to operate and deliver humanitarian
aid to all those who need it, particularly in the five governorates most affected
by the fighting (Abyan, Aden, Al Dahle, Hajjah and Taiz). The city of Taiz, where
fighting has intensified in recent weeks, is currently of particular concern. Humanitarian
agencies have been denied permission to deliver lifesaving supplies and there are
reports of severe shortages of food, healthcare, water and sanitation.</p><br /><p>We
continue to call on all parties to facilitate rapid, safe and unhindered access to
all people in need and to safeguard key infrastructure, including airports, sea ports,
fuel distribution sites and major access routes in Yemen. We will continue to fund
those agencies and NGOs who have the best access and ability to deliver humanitarian
assistance in Yemen.</p>
