<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> </p><p>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> </p><p>UK aid partners
continue to deliver life-saving support on the ground as part of our £170 million
response in Yemen this year, including cash transfers to 21,000 people displaced from
Hodeidah, as well as access to 75,000 litres of clean water a day.</p><p> </p>
