The measures were eased over the weekend, with a ship carrying 5,500 tons of flour having docked in Yemen’s Hodeidah port in the Red Sea, and UNICEF having sent a plane with vaccines to Sanaa airport after the coalition granted clearance for UN flights.
Regional UNICEF director Geert Cappelaere earlier said that the delivery of vaccines "cannot be a one-off" and that more supplies are needed.
But Mohammed al-Jabir, the Saudi ambassador to Yemen, confirmed that more aid was arriving as the allies work on a plan to boost the response to the humanitarian situation.

"Saudi Arabia and the coalition are preparing for the humanitarian operations plan, which will be announced maybe over the next few days."
