\nDUBAI: Support will continue to be sent to Yemen, despite attacks by Houthis that led to the burning of food aid, Saudi Arabia\u2019s ambassador to the US Prince Khalid bin Salman said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cAid is unfortunately often destroyed or blocked by the Iran-backed Houthis, who would rather use starvation tactics than prevent famine in Yemen. Despite their behavior, the Coalition will continue working with intl aid orgs & provide resources to alleviate the humanitarian crisis,\u201d he wrote on Twitter.<\/p>\n
\nUN Humanitarian Coordinator Mark Lowcock said civilians in Hodeidah were safer after the cease-fire agreement, stressing that international law must be respected at all times throughout Yemen.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cNearly 10 million people are \u201cjust one step away from famine,\u201d UN aid chief Mark Lowcock told the council.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cMillions of Yemenis are hungrier, sicker and more vulnerable than a year ago,\u201d said Lowcock, who stressed that while the political process was important \u201cit does not in itself feed a single starving child.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe Security Council is considering the creation of a new observer mission to Yemen to monitor the ceasefire in Hodeidah, oversee the pullback of forces and allow the delivery of humanitarian aid.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
