Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Monday voiced concern about the humanitarian crisis in Yemen, saying the death toll in the Arab world’s most impoverished nation is higher than that of Syria.
The foreign minister made the remarks speaking during a meeting in Brussels with Chairman of Group of the European People’s delegation for relations with Iran Janusz Lewandowski.
Yemen has been under military attacks by Saudi Arabia since March 26. The Saudi military strikes were launched with the aim of undermining Ansarullah and bringing fugitive former president of Yemen, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, back to power.
More than 8,300 people have been killed and over 16,000 others injured since the Saudi aerial aggression began. The Saudi war has also taken a heavy toll on Yemen’s facilities and infrastructure.
