The UK is deeply concerned by the ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis in Yemen. We fully support the peace process led by the UN Special Envoy, Martin Griffiths, and urge the parties to engage constructively with it. We continue to maintain that a political settlement is the only way to bring long-term stability to Yemen and to address the worsening humanitarian crisis. There can be no military solution to the conflict.
