A Supreme Political Council official denounced on Wednesday the lies made by Saudi aggression spokesman Ahmed Asiri who denied a Saudi blockade of Yemen.
"The aggression and its spokesman were always lying, and it was not a surprise that Asiri denied his country’s blockade against Yemen, which all the world witnessed," the official said in a statement.
"Also, it will not be a surprise once the Saudi aggression completely denied waging the aggression against Yemen, because the Saudis are used to purchasing international positions, including human rights organizations to pass their lies and silence to cover for the massacres against the Yemeni people," said the official.
The official said the air, sea, and land blockade imposed on Yemen since March 2015 by the US-backed Saudi-led coalition has pushed more than 25 million Yemeni citizens to near mass famine, spread diseases and epidemics that already killed thousands of children and women because of the Saudi prolonged blockade and prevention to the access of medicine and food supplies.
Saudi Arabia began its deadly campaign against Yemen in late March 2015. The strikes were meant to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to fugitive former president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
About 10,000 people have been killed and over 16,000 injured since Riyadh launched the airstrikes. The Saudi aggression has also taken a heavy toll on Yemen’s facilities and infrastructure.
