In Yemen, the UK has spent more than £1 billion in aid since the conflict began. This year, the UK will provide at least £88 million in aid to the people of Yemen, which will help feed at least 200,000 people every month, provide lifesaving health care for 800,000 women and children, and treat 85,000 severely malnourished children.

We will ensure that we continue to prioritise protecting those most in need and will work with our delivery partners to ensure aid is disbursed quickly and effectively.
