We welcome the positive outcomes of peace talks in Stockholm. A pause in fighting around Hodeidah has been in place since 14 November.
As we have consistently made clear, all parties must ensure that Hodeidah and Saleef ports and onward supply routes are kept open, and commercial and humanitarian flows are not disrupted.
UK aid partners continue to deliver life-saving support in Hodeidah as part of our £170 million response in Yemen this year, including access to 75,000 litres of clean water a day, and cash transfers to 21,000 people displaced from Hodediah.
