In a statement, the US State Department said "we will continue to coordinate with the Saudi-led coalition, the UN, our international partners, and humanitarian organizations to refine the Yemen Comprehensive Humanitarian Operations Plan to ensure that it is thorough and prioritizes humanitarian needs throughout the country."

The statement called the coalition's Comprehensive Humanitarian Operations Plan "an important step by U.S. partners toward mitigating the humanitarian crisis in Yemen.

The statement also welcomed "the reports of the four U.S.-funded World Food Programme cranes offloading goods at Hudaydah port." It said: "These cranes are offloading key supplies for the people of Yemen and will allow greater throughput of critical humanitarian assistance and goods."
