The United Nations Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, said Tuesday that only a political solution could solve the problems in Yemen and Syria.
The Secretary General was speaking at a joint press conference with Saudi foreign minister Adel Al-Jubeir.
About 14,000 people have been killed since the onset of Saudi Arabia’s military campaign against Yemen in March 2015. Much of the Arabian Peninsula country's infrastructure, including hospitals, schools and factories, has been reduced to rubble due to the war.
The United Nations says a record 22.2 million people are in need of food aid, including 8.4 million threatened by severe hunger.
A high-ranking UN aid official recently warned against the “catastrophic” living conditions in Yemen, stating that there is a growing risk of famine and cholera there.
