Because the sanctions imposed pursuant to a terrorist designation would normally prevent most forms of aid from flowing into areas controlled by the Houthis, a second official said the Biden administration is balancing the designation with “unprecedented carve-outs and licences” as well as a 30-day delay for implementing the designation to ensure that the carve-outs and licenses are in place to prevent “adverse impacts” on the people of Yemen. “The people of Yemen should not pay the price pay the price for the actions of the Houthis,” said the official, who said the Biden administration’s “clear message” is that “commercial shipments into Yemeni ports” should continue to bring food, medicine and fuel into the country because they will not be covered by the coming sanctions. “We recognise the grave humanitarian situation in Yemen and we're taking many steps to ensure these sanctions do the least harm to the Yemeni people,” the official said. Before the 30-day pause ends on 16 February, the government will be reaching out to “stakeholders crucial to facilitating humanitarian assistance and the commercial import of critical commodities” into Yemen, as well as “financial institutions, commercial shippers, NGOs, UN humanitarian assistance agencies, and other critical international organisations that deliver vital humanitarian assistance” to ensure continued delivery of aid and needed goods and services.
