'The UK has provided more than £1 billion in aid to Yemen since 2015. However, UK assistance has fallen from a peak of £260 million in 2019 to £77 million in 2022. For 2022/23, the UK has pledged £88 million compared to £87 million in 2021/22. At the UN pledging conference in February 2023, the UK was the fourth largest donor to the country, again pledging £88 million for 2023/24.'

UK Government:
'Over the next financial year, the UK hopes to match last year’s budget and will pledge up to 88 million pounds.
This will feed at least 100,000 Yemeni people every month, provide lifesaving health care and nutrition services through 400 health care facilities, and treat 22,000 severely malnourished children this year.'
