Yemen

Yemen

I share the concerns regarding the crisis in Yemen and the plight of the Yemeni people who are caught up in the conflict. That is why I am proud that the UK is leading the international community to do more to respond to the crisis in Yemen. Since the conflict began, the UK has committed £970 million of funding, which has helped meet the immediate food needs of millions of Yemenis, treated thousands of children for malnutrition and provided over one million people with improved water supply and basic sanitation.

The UK’s long-standing position on Yemen is that there is no military solution to this conflict, and only a political settlement can bring long-term stability to Yemen and tackle the worsening humanitarian crisis. I have been assured that the UK is not a party to the military conflict as part of the Saudi-led coalition .

The UK has been at the forefront of international efforts to bring a peaceful solution to the appalling conflict in Yemen, fully supporting the efforts of the UN Secretary-General and the UN Special Envoy’s peace plan. On 2 September, the Prime Minister discussed Yemen with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and on the 24th August, the Minister for the Middle East and North Africa spoke with Yemeni Foreign Minister Hadhrami about the peace process and developments in the South. I will of course follow developments closely, and hope for a positive resolution to this devastating conflict.
