<p>We remain very concerned by the potential funding gap the UN humanitarian response
in Yemen is facing this year. The 2019 Yemen Pledging Conference in Geneva this March
saw $2.6 billion pledged by international donors (against a $4.2 billion UN humanitarian
appeal for 2019), approximately 20% of which has been disbursed to date.</p><p>The
UK is regularly engaging with other donors at senior levels to urge the rapid disbursement
of funding to the UN to enable it to cover urgent needs.</p><p>The UK has also brought
forward funding and will have made available over half of our £200 million pledge
for this financial year (2019/2020) by the beginning of June.</p>
