Yemen’s Prime Minister Abdulaziz bin Habtoor on Wednesday met with head of the New York-based International Rescue Committee (IRC) David Miliband and the UN Resident Representative and Humanitarian Coordinator in Yemen Lise Grande in Sana’a.
During the meeting, the officials reviewed the tragic humanitarian situation Yemen is currently experiencing as a result of the war and all-out siege imposed on the country by the Saudi-led coalition.
"The political solution for us is essential, so we strongly support UN Envoy Martin Griffiths and his efforts towards peace," Bin Habtoor said.
He also stressed that the current humanitarian tragedy can only be stopped with the end of the war and siege, bringing peace and halting Saudi Arabia’s tyranny.
The ICR's head expressed his satisfaction with what he heard from the commitment of the Salvation Government to peace and its keenness on the success of the UN envoy's efforts.
Miliband said that the improvement of the humanitarian situation is linked to the political process and the success in reaching a satisfactory agreement from all parties.
He confirmed the continuation of the ICR organization in its activities in Yemen in order to mitigate the people's suffering.
