There is no blockade, although some measures were put in place to prevent the flow of arms to Yemen. We welcomed the Government of Yemen's announcement in October 2015 that all of Yemen's ports were open.<\/p>

It is vital that commercial shipments of food and fuel enter the country to help alleviate the humanitarian crisis. That is why the Department for International Development is providing £1.42 million to support the establishment of the United Nations Verification and Inspection Mechanism (UNVIM), which became operational on 5 May. It is successfully verifying, and where necessary inspecting, ships in line with UNSCR 2216 (2015). This should speed up the clearance process for ships and improve commercial confidence, increasing supply and in turn aiming to reduce the price of basic goods.

We are very concerned with the humanitarian crisis in Yemen. Yemen is now one of the most serious humanitarian crises in the world. One fifth of the world's total population in need of humanitarian aid live in Yemen (21 million, 82% of the population). On 21 September the Secretary of State for International Development, my Rt Hon. Friend the Member for Witham (Mrs Patel) announced an additional package of £37 million support to Yemen, which will bring the UK's total humanitarian funding for the crisis to £100 million this year. The UK is the fourth largest donor to the Yemen crisis. So far this calendar year (since January) the UK has provided £54 million in humanitarian support to Yemen, which has contributed to projects within the 2016 Humanitarian Response Plan. We have so far helped more than 1.3 million Yemenis with food, medical supplies, water, and emergency shelter.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1487", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bournemouth East"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Tobias Ellwood"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2016-10-18", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2016-10-18T14:48:16.113Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "16"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2016-10-12", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Yemen: Military Intervention"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what assessment he has made of the humanitarian situation in Yemen following the air strike on a funeral hall in Sana'a on 8 October 2016.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4127", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Julie Elliott"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Sunderland Central"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Julie Elliott"} ], "uin" : "48431"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/604257", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/604257/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

\u200bThe UK Government is deeply concerned by the conflict in Yemen, including recent events in Sana'a. All export licence applications are assessed on a case-by-case basis against the Consolidated EU and National Arms Export Licensing Criteria, taking account of all relevant factors at the time of the application. The key test for our continued arms exports to Saudi Arabia in relation to International Humanitarian Law (IHL) is whether there is a clear risk that those items might be used in a serious violation of IHL.
