<p>The UK uses its role as penholder at the UN Security Council to support the Yemen
peace process. A political settlement is the only way to bring long-term stability
and address the worsening humanitarian crisis. We are also working closely with the
UN Special Envoy to Yemen in his efforts to develop the current de facto truce into
a Yemeni-led political settlement under UN auspices. The UK pledged up to £88 million
of aid for Yemen at the UN-led Humanitarian Pledging Conference in Geneva in March.</p><p>We
continue to engage with Gulf partners regarding a coordinated approach to effectively
deliver humanitarian aid in Yemen. This includes at the ambassadorial level and through
our officials in Riyadh and Amman. At the inaugural UK-Saudi Arabia Aid Dialogue last
month, improving humanitarian access and encouraging greater funding commitments by
regional partners were identified as key targets.</p>
