<p>On World Food Day this year, the UK announced a package of £96.5 million to help
UNICEF continue to tackle malnutrition in Yemen over the coming three years. This
package will screen 2.2 million children under the age of five for malnutrition and
provide urgent treatment for 70,000 of the most vulnerable children.</p><p>The recent
increase in military activity in and around Hodeidah has had a relatively limited
impact on this programme so far, as the programme’s activities are implemented countrywide,
not exclusively in Hodeidah. The continued flow of goods through and onwards from
Hodeidah port, however, will be critical to ensure that humanitarian supplies can
reach those in need.</p><p>In Hodeidah city, stocks of supplies, including nutrition
and fuel are still available thanks to the pre-positioning by UNICEF and its partners.
Efforts are now focused on scaling up lifesaving activities within the humanitarian
response.</p>
