In light of the worsening humanitarian crisis in Yemen, the Yemeni government, represented by its Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Abdullah Al-Saadi, called for holding an urgent donor conference to support the humanitarian response plan in the country.

In his speech before the Security Council, Al-Saadi warned of the danger of overlooking the grave violations committed by the Houthi militias, and their exploitation of humanitarian aid to achieve their military and political goals.

Al-Saadi confirmed that the humanitarian situation in Yemen is deteriorating significantly, and that millions of Yemenis are suffering from hunger, disease and displacement, as a result of the ongoing conflict and the siege imposed on the country.

Al-Saadi called on the international community to assume its responsibilities towards the Yemeni people, and to provide the necessary support to save the lives of millions of innocent people
