For each of the last five years the impact of DFID\u2019s work has been set out in the Departmental Annual Reports and Accounts. The DFID Annual Report and Accounts 2017-2018<\/a> also shows the results achieved during the period April 2015 to March 2018. In that period, UK Official Development Assistance reached 26.8 million people with humanitarian assistance and supported 40.3 million people to access clean water and/or better sanitation. Between January 2015 and December 2017, it supported the immunisation of approximately 37.4 million children, saving an estimated 610,000 lives. We are committed to improving the effectiveness and transparency of UK aid to ensure we are attaining maximum impact from our aid budget. The Independent Commission for Aid Impact (ICAI) has the remit to provide independent scrutiny of the impact and value for money of all UK Government aid spending and reports its finding to Parliament\u2019s International Development Committee.<\/p>

Red Sea Ports are currently operational and continue to import most of the food and fuel on which Yemenis rely. For most of this year imports have been robust and in some cases exceeded pre-war levels. We are however concerned about recent reports of a reduction of imports into Yemen.<\/p>

<\/em><\/p>

To maintain confidence of commercial importers, the UK recently worked with the US, Saudis and Emiratis to agree measures with the Central Bank of Yemen to issue letters of credit to provide foreign currency so that importers can purchase food on international markets. This has also resulted in an appreciation of the Yemeni Riyal, increasing the purchasing power of ordinary Yemenis.<\/p>

<\/p>

It is imperative the Red Sea ports of Hodeidah and Saleef remain operational. Yemen relies on imports to meet 90% of its basic needs like food and fuel \u2013 before the conflict, the Red Sea ports of Hodeidah and Saleef accounted for approximately 80% of total imports into Yemen. The UK recently pressed successfully for the suspension of unnecessary processes introduced by the Government of Yemen in bringing food goods into the country and we continue to call on all parties to allow safe, rapid and unhindered access for food and fuel throughout Yemen.<\/p>
