RIYADH - The spokesperson of the Arab coalition forces, Col. Turki Al-Malki, said on Monday that humanitarian support in Yemen will continue.
He pointed out that the coalition appealed to the political and social sides in Aden to exercise calm and cooperate with the government and focus on fighting the militias.
Al-Malki said that Al-Khadra port had been activated to provide aid to Yemen, and that maritime permits had been issued to secure aid supply through Hodeidah.
He said that the coalition brought back 27 children who were taken by force by the militias.
Al-Malki confirmed that the legitimate forces advanced in Al Baq’e and in the western part of Al-Bayda, adding that a booby-trapped boat was targeted while setting sail from the port of Hodeidah, which is still under the control of the coup forces. — Al Arabiya English
