The EU has called for an end to Houthi military action and access for humanitarian assistance in Yemen. A November 2 statement issued on the bloc’s behalf also urges the release of detained aid personnel and backs a UN-led political process.
The statement places European emergency humanitarian assistance at €110 million for 2026, including a latest €25 million reinforcement. This is the stated annual funding total, not an assertion that the whole amount was newly allocated that day.
Maritime security forms another part of the EU position. The statement condemns threats to commercial vessels and says the defensive operation ASPIDES will continue its work protecting navigation and seafarers.
