RIYADH — As the international community is preparing to participate in a virtual High-Level Pledging Event for the humanitarian crisis in Yemen co-hosted by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Nations, the Houthi militia continues its aggressive actions against humanitarian operations and agencies.

A statement from the Permanent Mission of Saudi Arabia to the United Nations said, the Houthi militia must remove all impediments imposed on humanitarian activities in areas under their control as these actions blatantly affect the important work of the humanitarian agencies such as WFP in relieving the suffering of Yemeni people.

Saudi Arabia strongly condemns such actions and calls for an immediate end to arbitrary movement delays, detentions, harassment, obstructions and interference in aid operations.

Such actions demonstrate that this militia has no respect for the work of humanitarian agencies, and rather prioritizes its narrow interests over the interests of Yemeni people. — SPA
