Saudi Arabia announced on Tuesday it would contribute $500 million in humanitarian aid for Yemen.
The pledge was made by General Supervisor of the King Salman Center for Relief and Humanitarian Affairs Abdullah Al-Rabeeah during a speech at a UN-organized conference in Geneva.
The UAE and Kuwait pledged respectively $500 million and $250 million.
UN aid officials have been able to reach the Red Sea Mills in Yemen's Hodeidah port for the first time in six months, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said.
He was addressing the UN pledging conference, which the world body hopes to drum up some $4 billion in humanitarian aid for Yemen this year.
A spokesman for the UN's World Food Programme told AFP that it was an evaluation mission that had reached the warehouse near Hodeidah.
In total, the UN estimates that more than 24 million people, or 80 percent of the population, needs assistance, including two million people who are affected by the humanitarian crisis in the past year alone.
