The head of Yemen’s Supreme Revolutionary Committee (SPC), Mohamed Ali Al-Houthi, met on Monday with the World Food Program (WFP) Resident Representative Stephen Anderson and the director of Emergency and Relief Omar Al-Daoudi.
During the meeting, the officials discussed a number of aspects related to the worsening humanitarian assistance situation caused by Saudi-led coalition on the Yemeni people.
Leading a coalition of its allies, including the UAE and Sudan, Saudi Arabia invaded Yemen in March 2015 in an attempt to reinstall Hadi, who had resigned amid popular discontent and fled to Riyadh.
The imposed war initially consisted of an aerial campaign but was later coupled with a naval blockade and the deployment of ground mercenaries to Yemen.
Since the onset of aggression, the Yemeni army, backed by fighters from Ansarullah, has been defending the impoverished nation against the invaders. The coalition is also resolute to crush the movement as another goal in its war on Yemen, which is teetering on the edge of famine.
The aggression is estimated to have left 56,000 Yemenis dead.
Riyadh had declared at the start of the invasion that the war would take no more than a couple of weeks.
