Alistair Burt, the British Minister of State for the Middle East, expressed concern over the recent escalation of violence in Yemen, calling on conflicting sides to “de-escalate the fighting and find a comprehensive political solution.”
“Yemen is the world’s worst humanitarian crisis and the situation is deteriorating every day. All parties must safeguard civilians, critical infrastructure, and aid workers, and I reiterate the Prime Minister’s call for the immediate restoration of commercial and humanitarian access to all areas of Yemen,” stated Burt.
The British official added that “in a country that depends overwhelmingly on imports for basic supplies including food, fuel, and medicine, unhindered access is the only way to avoid a famine.”
